<li><strong>TypeScript 7 compiler rewritten in Go for speed</strong>: TypeScript 7, codenamed Project Corsa, is getting a complete compiler rewrite in Go, promising up to 10x faster build times and significantly reduced memory usage. This move, reported by InfoQ, aligns TypeScript with other high-performance native tooling like esbuild and SWC, and introduces strict mode by default, enhancing type safety. While developers are excited about the performance, concerns about migration paths for tools relying on the TypeScript compiler API are being raised. <a href="https://app.daily.dev/posts/iOoEZIQrn" target="_blank" rel="noopener nofollow">Read more</a></li>
<li><strong>India proposes strict smartphone security standards</strong>: India is pushing for 83 new smartphone security standards, including demands for source code access, pre-update notifications, and 12-month device log storage. Major tech companies like Apple and Samsung are pushing back, calling these requirements unprecedented and invasive. Reuters reports government documents contradict public statements, suggesting a strong intent to gain source code access, raising concerns about proprietary technology and potential vulnerabilities. <a href="https://app.daily.dev/posts/C0BEamxdR" target="_blank" rel="noopener nofollow">Read more</a></li>
<li><strong>Meta secures nuclear power for AI infrastructure</strong>: Meta has announced partnerships with Vistra, TerraPower, and Oklo to secure up to 6.6 GW of nuclear energy capacity by 2035. This massive investment aims to provide reliable baseload power for Meta’s expanding AI infrastructure and data centers, particularly supporting the Prometheus supercluster in Ohio. The initiative involves extending the life of existing plants and developing new advanced reactors, positioning nuclear power as a clean solution for AI’s growing energy demands. <a href="https://app.daily.dev/posts/elp6Y0W2r" target="_blank" rel="noopener nofollow">Read more</a></li>

<li><strong>Linus Torvalds uses AI for Python tooling</strong>: Linus Torvalds released AudioNoise, an open-source guitar pedal simulator, noting he used Google’s Antigravity AI-assist IDE for the Python visualization tool, a practice he calls ‘vibe coding’ to streamline code-writing from intent. <a href="https://app.daily.dev/posts/fe8LDMARY" target="_blank" rel="noopener nofollow">Read more</a></li>
<li><strong>PostgreSQL as a Redis alternative for specific use cases</strong>: A technical article suggests PostgreSQL can replace Redis for caching, pub/sub, job queues, and session storage in small-to-medium apps by leveraging features like UNLOGGED tables and LISTEN/NOTIFY, potentially saving infrastructure costs by consolidating systems. <a href="https://app.daily.dev/posts/X7d3O8Vu2" target="_blank" rel="noopener nofollow">Read more</a></li>

<h2>Bullshit police</h2>

<li><strong>AI code generation: the new focus fragmentation tool</strong>: Apparently, those 5-30 second ‘dead zones’ while AI code generators do their thing are ‘fragmenting developer focus’ and ‘destroying deep work.’ The solution? An ‘AI Detox’ protocol, which basically means don’t touch your keyboard and close Slack. Who knew the secret to productivity was just staring blankly at your screen while the AI thinks? Maybe just write the code yourself if you’re going to babysit the bot. <a href="https://app.daily.dev/feed-by-ids?id=eC9HsHF69&amp;id=infazu71Y&amp;id=uTQFFroPQ" target="_blank" rel="noopener nofollow">Read more</a></li>
<li><strong>GenAI projects: 80% failure rate, but it’s not the models, it’s <em>you</em></strong>: An anonymous expert claims 80% of GenAI projects fail, not because the models are glorified autocomplete, but because developers lack ‘production-ready infrastructure.’ Apparently, if you just had the right config management, prompt versioning, and error handlers, your GenAI would be a unicorn. It’s almost like these things are harder than just calling an API and hoping for the best. Shocking. <a href="https://app.daily.dev/feed-by-ids?id=ExsMXw27a&amp;id=yocwu10Ql" target="_blank" rel="noopener nofollow">Read more</a></li>
<li><strong>AI coding tools now generate ‘most’ production code, trust us</strong>: A report, whose precise data source is conveniently ‘not detailed,’ claims AI code generation tools now create 70-90% of production code. Developers are urged to ‘adapt work habits’ and ‘challenge AI capabilities’ with ‘real’ tasks. So, AI writes most of the code, but we still need to babysit it, build custom benchmarks because vendor claims aren’t enough, and learn ‘orchestration patterns’ for multiple AI agents. Sounds like less coding, more AI management. Progress! <a href="https://app.daily.dev/posts/LeN1TdPNx" target="_blank" rel="noopener nofollow">Read more</a></li>
