<h2>Must know</h2>
<ul>
<li><strong>Microsoft Intune enforces mandatory app updates</strong>: Microsoft Intune will soon block iOS and Android enterprise apps that don’t update to the latest SDK versions by January 19, 2026. This isn’t optional; apps failing to comply, including Microsoft’s own Outlook and Teams, will simply stop launching. The move, driven by security enhancements like PIN enforcement and biometric authentication, means organizations risk widespread service interruptions if they don’t update, as reported by multiple tech outlets. Admins are advised to monitor compliance closely, as there are no exceptions or grace periods. <a href="https://app.daily.dev/posts/PNEoUht10" target="_blank" rel="noopener nofollow">Read more</a></li>
<li><strong>GitLab launches AI agent orchestration platform</strong>: GitLab has released its Duo Agent Platform, enabling orchestration of multiple AI agents across the software development lifecycle. This platform, part of GitLab 18.8, includes a Planner Agent for project management and a Security Analyst Agent for automated vulnerability triage. It also features a central AI Catalog for agent discovery and management, supporting both foundational and user-defined workflows. The update aims to boost operational efficiency and security automation, according to GitLab’s official announcement. <a href="https://app.daily.dev/posts/R9WyVAVPv" target="_blank" rel="noopener nofollow">Read more</a></li>
<li><strong>AMD Zen processors vulnerable to StackWarp attack</strong>: A new hardware vulnerability, StackWarp (CVE-2025-29943), affects AMD Zen processors (generations 1-5), including EPYC 7003, 8004, 9004, and 9005 series. This flaw allows privileged attackers to execute arbitrary code within SEV-SNP protected confidential virtual machines by exploiting an undocumented control bit. While AMD has issued microcode updates, additional patches are expected in April 2026, and users are advised to disable hyperthreading on critical systems as a temporary mitigation. <a href="https://app.daily.dev/posts/9DURDnZX3" target="_blank" rel="noopener nofollow">Read more</a></li>

<h2>Bullshit police</h2>
<ul>
<li><strong>AI coding agents: the new junior dev, but with more hallucinations</strong>: Apparently, AI coding agents are the future, generating full-stack apps from text prompts in hours and even helping beginners build games. But don’t get too excited; experts like David Heinemeier Hansson still think they’re unreliable and can’t grasp system architecture, while GitHub Copilot reportedly boosts velocity but triples security vulnerabilities. So, it seems we’re just trading one set of problems for another, now with extra steps for ‘context architects’ to manage the AI’s inevitable confusion. <a href="https://app.daily.dev/feed-by-ids?id=LklGkgpse&amp;id=LpF1NSIQw&amp;id=0fzwUL3Um&amp;id=15Mjf12HP&amp;id=2IKuR9DJZ&amp;id=3DI7vnha4&amp;id=3sM5oeueQ&amp;id=AJzG7x8FZ&amp;id=AS53pzdrZ&amp;id=ATZPMmQn8" target="_blank" rel="noopener nofollow">Read more</a></li>
<li><strong>Enterprise AI: still mostly a pilot project graveyard</strong>: IDC reports that only 5% of enterprise AI pilots actually deliver production value, blaming fragmented infrastructure and siloed data. Yet, investors are pouring billions into AI startups, with Anthropic alone valued at $350 billion. It’s almost as if the ‘transformative impact’ of AI is more about venture capital valuations than actual, you know, transformation in the real world. But hey, at least we’re getting ‘composable and sovereign AI architectures’ by 2027, so that’s something. <a href="https://app.daily.dev/feed-by-ids?id=yuiHTajaU&amp;id=2IcgLruSE&amp;id=AirINdKGE&amp;id=Kn5AMUlFL&amp;id=knSCj49Cn&amp;id=nH5xYsaji&amp;id=ySWkPbPFN&amp;id=zDjVyaxS1" target="_blank" rel="noopener nofollow">Read more</a></li>
<li><strong>AI-powered PCs: all the hardware, none of the apps</strong>: Apparently, 54% of new enterprise laptops now come with NPUs, and 25% boast ‘next-gen AI hardware.’ But here’s the kicker: adoption is lagging because of high prices and a shocking lack of actual AI-driven business applications. It seems we’re back to the good old days of hardware looking for a problem, proving that slapping ‘AI’ on a spec sheet doesn’t magically create value. Dell even admitted they overemphasized premium models, because who needs practical applications when you can have a shiny NPU? <a href="https://app.daily.dev/feed-by-ids?id=4Trj7zDav&amp;id=QJmBgvguS" target="_blank" rel="noopener nofollow">Read more</a></li>
