<li><strong>Snowflake acquires Observe for AIops and observability</strong>: Snowflake is acquiring Observe, an AI-based SRE platform, to enhance its observability offerings, particularly for AI systems. This move aims to unify monitoring of data pipelines, AI model behavior, and infrastructure health within a single platform, leveraging Snowflake’s Data Cloud. The goal is to provide a more cost-effective and streamlined approach to observability by treating telemetry data like any other enterprise data, as reported by Snowflake Community. This acquisition is expected to help enterprises detect performance regressions and data drift earlier. <a href="https://app.daily.dev/posts/XlAd95QPv" target="_blank" rel="noopener nofollow">Read more</a></li>
<li><strong>North Korean hackers exploit QR codes for credential theft</strong>: The FBI attributes recent malicious QR code spear-phishing campaigns to North Korean state-sponsored hackers (Kimsuky/APT43). These attacks target U.S. think tanks, academic institutions, and government entities, using fake login pages for Microsoft 365, Okta, and VPNs to harvest credentials and bypass multi-factor authentication via session token theft. The use of QR codes, or “quishing,” allows attackers to bypass traditional enterprise detection tools, as mobile devices often operate outside managed security perimeters. <a href="https://app.daily.dev/posts/XmPhFlPf5" target="_blank" rel="noopener nofollow">Read more</a></li>
<li><strong>Meta secures massive nuclear power deals for AI data centers</strong>: Meta has signed agreements with Vistra, Oklo, and TerraPower to secure over six gigawatts of nuclear power for its data centers, driven by escalating AI workloads. Vistra will provide 2.1 GW immediately from existing Ohio facilities, with an additional 433 MW by the early 2030s. Oklo and TerraPower, both advanced nuclear startups, will construct new small modular reactors (SMRs) to supply 1.2 GW and 2.8 GW respectively, targeting operational dates between 2030-2032. This signals a major tech industry shift towards long-term nuclear power procurement. <a href="https://app.daily.dev/posts/1sXfoaLc2" target="_blank" rel="noopener nofollow">Read more</a></li>

<h2>Bullshit police</h2>

<li><strong>AI is not replacing developers anytime soon, says expert</strong>: Stefan Mischook, a seasoned developer, argues that AI models are merely pattern recognition systems lacking true logical reasoning, making them unsuitable to replace human developers. He points to AI’s fragility, inconsistent progress between versions, and poor performance on novel problems as evidence. So, while your AI assistant might write some boilerplate, don’t expect it to architect your next big project, because apparently, problem-solving and foundational principles still require a human touch. <a href="https://app.daily.dev/posts/4FklVf4AA" target="_blank" rel="noopener nofollow">Read more</a></li>
<li><strong>Cursor, the AI-native editor that ‘destroyed’ VSCode, faces reality</strong>: Cursor, an AI-native code editor, made bold claims about challenging VSCode’s dominance by integrating AI deeply into its architecture. Despite rapid growth and features like Composer for refactoring entire modules, it hit a wall with Microsoft marketplace restrictions and stability issues. Turns out, building a stable, widely adopted developer tool is harder than just slapping ‘AI’ on it, and many developers are now flocking back to the good old VSCode, because sometimes, reliable beats revolutionary hype. <a href="https://app.daily.dev/posts/LbaA6unww" target="_blank" rel="noopener nofollow">Read more</a></li>
<li><strong>Russian APT28 still doing the same old credential harvesting in 2025</strong>: Russian state-sponsored group APT28 (Fancy Bear/BlueDelta) was caught running credential harvesting campaigns from February to September 2025, targeting IT integrators, think tanks, and government entities across various regions. Their sophisticated methods? Localized phishing emails and fake login pages mimicking common services like Microsoft Outlook and Google. It’s 2025, and these state-sponsored actors are still relying on basic phishing. One might think they’d have upgraded to something a bit more cutting-edge by now, but hey, if it ain’t broke, don’t fix it, right? <a href="https://app.daily.dev/posts/bNDY7v5ay" target="_blank" rel="noopener nofollow">Read more</a></li>
