<li><strong>India’s smartphone security demands spark industry backlash</strong>: India is proposing 83 new smartphone security standards, including source code access and 12-month device log storage, which Apple, Samsung, Google, and Xiaomi are vehemently opposing. Industry players call these requirements unprecedented and a risk to proprietary technology, directly contradicting the Indian IT ministry’s public denials of seeking source code, according to Reuters. This could significantly impact the smartphone ecosystem in India. <a href="https://app.daily.dev/posts/C0BEamxdR" target="_blank" rel="noopener nofollow">Read more</a></li>
<li><strong>Instagram password reset chaos and data leak claims</strong>: Millions of Instagram users received unexpected password reset emails, leading to allegations from Malwarebytes of a 17.5 million account data leak on the dark web. Meta, however, denies any breach, attributing the emails to an external party exploiting a technical issue. This contradiction leaves users confused and concerned about their data security, with Meta advising users to ignore unsolicited emails and enable two-factor authentication. <a href="https://app.daily.dev/posts/MEOecqk3z" target="_blank" rel="noopener nofollow">Read more</a></li>

<h2>Bullshit police</h2>
<ul>
<li><strong>AI code generation: 90% of production code, or 90% of the hype?</strong>: A report claims AI code generation tools now create 70-90% of production code, urging developers to adapt or ‘fall behind.’ While it suggests challenging AI with ‘real’ tasks and using custom benchmarks, it conveniently omits any actual data, named companies, or case studies. Sounds like another vendor trying to sell us on the AI revolution without showing the receipts. <a href="https://app.daily.dev/posts/LeN1TdPNx" target="_blank" rel="noopener nofollow">Read more</a></li>
<li><strong>GenAI project failure rate: 80% due to ‘infrastructure gaps,’ not bad models?</strong>: An anonymous author claims 80% of GenAI projects fail, not because the models are bad, but due to ‘production-ready infrastructure gaps.’ They then list seven ‘essential’ folders like config management and prompt versioning, implying these basic engineering practices are the missing link. So, the problem isn’t the shiny new AI, it’s just that developers forgot how to build software? Right. <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>PostgreSQL as a Redis killer: the $100/month savings delusion</strong>: A technical article suggests PostgreSQL can replace Redis for caching and queues, claiming ‘overall’ performance gains by eliminating network hops and saving a whopping $100/month. The author admits it’s 0.1-1ms slower per operation and unsuitable for high-throughput or Redis-specific features. So, for small apps with minimal needs, you can save a few bucks and add a single point of failure. Revolutionary! <a href="https://app.daily.dev/posts/X7d3O8Vu2" target="_blank" rel="noopener nofollow">Read more</a></li>
