<li><strong>AI agents are taking over project management</strong>: AI agentic workflows are emerging, enabling autonomous project management and task execution, shifting developers to a management role. Tools like OpenClaw and GitHub Agentic Workflows are automating repository management and project oversight, freeing developers for strategic planning. However, this shift also brings concerns about accountability and maintainability, as LLMs cannot reason about system architecture or context, according to sources like The New Stack. <a href="https://app.daily.dev/feed-by-ids?id=4JIVYKasE&amp;id=6XiGDuvrg&amp;id=7JJvm8UWH&amp;id=MeoqSzB8a&amp;id=cFuqqwpeZ&amp;id=l4yo9VPjl&amp;id=wEVz8B5rw" target="_blank" rel="noopener nofollow">Read more</a></li>
<li><strong>Intel archives open-source projects and sunsets software defined silicon</strong>: Intel has archived approximately two dozen open-source projects on GitHub and quietly discontinued its “On Demand” Software Defined Silicon (SDSi) program. SDSi, introduced in 2021, allowed activation of additional hardware features on Xeon processors via software licensing, a controversial move. These actions signal a broader shift in Intel’s open-source strategy, as reported by Phoronix. <a href="https://app.daily.dev/feed-by-ids?id=9KgokQznt&amp;id=LPtFvSMC9" target="_blank" rel="noopener nofollow">Read more</a></li>
<li><strong>New AI models challenge Claude opus performance</strong>: A new free stealth model, Pony Alpha, is reportedly matching or exceeding Claude Opus 4.5 performance on Open Router, featuring a 200K token context window and reasoning capabilities. This comes as Anthropic’s Claude Opus 4.6 is being compared favorably to Codex for landing page generation, showing smoother experiences and cleaner code, according to discussions on Hacker News. <a href="https://app.daily.dev/feed-by-ids?id=4JIVYKasE&amp;id=IR7qapWFD&amp;id=qohluZoUs" target="_blank" rel="noopener nofollow">Read more</a></li>

<h2>Bullshit police</h2>
<ul>
<li><strong>The software house claims 30-40% productivity boost with their AI framework</strong>: The Software House launched ‘copilot-collections,’ an open-source AI development framework, claiming a 30-40% productivity increase across 220+ engineers. This self-reported statistic, from the framework’s creator, lacks independent verification, so take it with a grain of salt. It’s great for greenfield projects, but apparently, you still need ‘experienced oversight’ to make AI-generated code not suck. <a href="https://app.daily.dev/feed-by-ids?id=9kAZfg0YQ&amp;id=tZA0R168h" target="_blank" rel="noopener nofollow">Read more</a></li>
<li><strong>Developers distrust AI code but don’t verify it</strong>: A survey of 1,149 engineers found that 96% distrust AI-generated code, yet only 48% bother to verify it. Apparently, 61% believe AI produces code that ‘looks correct but is unreliable.’ So, we don’t trust it, but we’re too lazy to check? This sounds like a recipe for a future filled with ‘90% good enough’ software, where quality goes to die, as one Hacker News post eloquently put it. <a href="https://app.daily.dev/feed-by-ids?id=QxTS3kJG9&amp;id=BJmVQeRm9&amp;id=osFUQBBRw&amp;id=BjOY0aFh9" target="_blank" rel="noopener nofollow">Read more</a></li>
<li><strong>Bank of America’s AI productivity gains are less than advertised</strong>: Bank of America increased coding output by 30% using AI but only reduced its developer workforce by 11-12%. This suggests that coding is roughly one-third of software development work. So much for the ‘10x productivity’ claims that ignore all the other messy bits of actually building software. It seems AI is great at generating lines of code, but not so much at the ‘thinking’ part, which, you know, is kind of important. <a href="https://app.daily.dev/feed-by-ids?id=yGM1loJDg&amp;id=BJmVQeRm9" target="_blank" rel="noopener nofollow">Read more</a></li>
