<li><strong>Salesforce phases out Heroku</strong>: Salesforce has moved its Platform-as-a-Service (PaaS) Heroku into a sustaining engineering phase, halting new enterprise contract sales. This signals a potential phasing out of the platform as Salesforce pivots towards AI-led growth. Existing customers can continue using the service but are advised to treat it as legacy infrastructure and plan migrations to alternatives like Render or <a href="http://Fly.io" target="_blank" rel="noopener nofollow">Fly.io</a>, as reported by multiple sources. <a href="https://app.daily.dev/feed-by-ids?id=13PGZg8yI&amp;id=smfFrov84&amp;id=pW1DiQ44D" target="_blank" rel="noopener nofollow">Read more</a></li>
<li><strong>Linux kernel permanently adopts Rust</strong>: Linux 7.0 officially makes Rust a permanent part of the kernel project, concluding the ‘Rust experiment.’ This decision signals a long-term commitment to the language, encouraging developers and companies to invest in Rust training and development for kernel contributions. The move follows years of community support and ongoing improvements to Rust builds within the kernel. <a href="https://app.daily.dev/posts/k0qXAqGCH" target="_blank" rel="noopener nofollow">Read more</a></li>
<li><strong>Critical vulnerabilities in Ivanti EPMM exploited</strong>: Multiple critical vulnerabilities (CVE-2026-1281 and CVE-2026-1340) in Ivanti Endpoint Manager Mobile (EPMM) are being actively exploited, leading to data breaches at organizations like the Dutch Data Protection Authority. Attackers are deploying ‘sleeper shells’—dormant, in-memory backdoors that wait for specific triggers to load second-stage payloads, making detection difficult. Organizations are urged to patch immediately, restart application servers, and hunt for specific log indicators, as patching alone may not be sufficient. <a href="https://app.daily.dev/feed-by-ids?id=oF5bVmdnY&amp;id=CZgK5a0B2" target="_blank" rel="noopener nofollow">Read more</a></li>

<h2>Bullshit police</h2>
<ul>
<li><strong>Anthropic’s Claude Co-work plugin wipes out $400 billion in tech stocks</strong>: Anthropic released Claude Co-work with industry-specific plugins, and apparently, this single event “Wiped Out $400 Billion In Tech Stocks.” Because a new AI plugin is definitely the sole, definitive cause of market fluctuations, not, you know, the entire global economy or anything. The article title is a bit dramatic, claiming a definitive, large-scale loss, while the body text describes ‘triggering market concerns’ and ‘raising questions.’ Sounds like someone’s trying to make their AI sound more impactful than it actually is. <a href="https://app.daily.dev/posts/QnkkrfiEd" target="_blank" rel="noopener nofollow">Read more</a></li>
<li><strong>AI agents develop C compiler for Linux kernel</strong>: Anthropic researchers used 16 Claude Opus 4.6 AI agents to build a Rust-based C compiler that successfully compiles the Linux kernel. They spent $20,000 in API costs over two weeks to generate 100,000 lines of code. While it compiles, the code is “not production-ready due to inefficiency” and the Rust quality is “subpar.” So, we’ve got a compiler that works, but it’s slow, bloated, and written badly. Progress! <a href="https://app.daily.dev/feed-by-ids?id=qhPl6UlEO&amp;id=9jEdtbewr" target="_blank" rel="noopener nofollow">Read more</a></li>
<li><strong>AI’s dual impact on software development: productivity vs. security &amp; OSS challenges</strong>: AI is supposedly shifting from curiosity to “10x productivity” expectations, causing anxiety for teams. Meanwhile, it’s also leading to declining engagement in open source, overwhelming maintainers with low-quality AI-generated pull requests, and introducing new security vulnerabilities through hallucinated packages. So, AI makes us 10x productive while simultaneously making everything else 10x worse. Sounds like a net zero, or maybe even a net negative, for actual progress. <a href="https://app.daily.dev/feed-by-ids?id=0CiZDAswQ&amp;id=0hMgfxxrs&amp;id=7G6kpg12b&amp;id=8yRieynOP&amp;id=KCC82Mw6D&amp;id=d4YFQW1JT&amp;id=eD5zl44R8&amp;id=gVU0l8bpQ" target="_blank" rel="noopener nofollow">Read more</a></li>
