<li><strong>Go developers are happy but not with AI coding tools</strong>: The 2025 Go Developer Survey found 91% satisfaction with Go, primarily for CLI tools and API services. However, 53% of Go developers using AI coding tools daily are not very satisfied, citing non-functional code (53%) and poor quality (30%). This suggests AI tools are still falling short for Go developers, despite their widespread adoption for boilerplate and unit tests, as reported in Golang Weekly. <a href="https://app.daily.dev/posts/yyZ0pKuL1" target="_blank" rel="noopener nofollow">Read more</a></li>
<li><strong>Microsoft gave BitLocker keys to the FBI</strong>: In a first publicly known instance, Microsoft provided BitLocker recovery keys to the FBI to decrypt three laptops during a fraud investigation. This happened under a legal warrant, leveraging the default cloud storage of recovery keys when users link BitLocker to a Microsoft account. Security experts warn this practice increases privacy risks, highlighting the trade-off between data recoverability and exposure to legal disclosures, according to multiple reports. <a href="https://app.daily.dev/posts/6Aq315WBk" target="_blank" rel="noopener nofollow">Read more</a></li>
<li><strong>Google is changing its programmable search engine</strong>: Google is restructuring its Programmable Search Engine products, effective January 1, 2027. The free version will be limited to 50 domains, forcing users needing broader search to migrate to Vertex AI Search or contact Google for custom solutions. The Custom Search JSON API is also being deprecated. This move impacts webmasters and developers, with Google offering no explanation for the changes, as detailed on the Programmable Search Engine Blog. <a href="https://app.daily.dev/posts/DC2sDltji" target="_blank" rel="noopener nofollow">Read more</a></li>

<h2>Bullshit police</h2>

<li><strong>AI coding agents are disrupting software engineering roles, apparently</strong>: Anthropic CEO Dario Amodei, speaking at Davos, boldly predicted AI models could handle most software engineering tasks within 6-12 months. Meanwhile, GitHub Copilot and similar tools are now connecting AI agents to organizational context from emails and meetings, allowing them to compare code to specs and reconstruct undocumented architectures. So, apparently, we’re all just glorified prompt engineers now, editing AI-generated code instead of writing it, because who needs actual engineering skills when you have an AI that can ‘autonomously complete delegated execution tasks’? <a href="https://app.daily.dev/feed-by-ids?id=0fyNmKnQE&amp;id=AnhMtsEYf&amp;id=DczaKkmGw&amp;id=KfJ8s7nDm&amp;id=NagkQXPrh&amp;id=dSFznJ0W1&amp;id=zJhxrzVIY" target="_blank" rel="noopener nofollow">Read more</a></li>
<li><strong>AI is the next abstraction layer, because we needed another one</strong>: According to some deep thinkers, software development has gone from punch cards to mainframes, GUIs, web apps, and now, AI-assisted development. Each step ‘abstracts away lower-level details,’ allowing us to ‘write less code while building more sophisticated applications.’ So, AI is just another layer of abstraction, meaning we can build even more complex, opaque systems that no one truly understands, all while patting ourselves on the back for writing less code. Progress! <a href="https://app.daily.dev/posts/XUOoVy4Ig" target="_blank" rel="noopener nofollow">Read more</a></li>
<li><strong>AI-generated code challenges version control, because Git wasn’t complicated enough</strong>: Apparently, AI-generated code introduces ‘non-deterministic outputs’ into our version control systems, making traditional Git tracking a nightmare. Now, we need to track prompts alongside code commits, and somehow ‘redact sensitive or non-professional prompt content’ before logging. Because, you know, the problem isn’t the quality of the AI-generated code, it’s that Git can’t handle its probabilistic nature. Maybe we should just go back to punch cards; at least those were deterministic. <a href="https://app.daily.dev/posts/NyYCbdllC" target="_blank" rel="noopener nofollow">Read more</a></li>
