<h2>Must know</h2>
<ul>
<li><strong>AI coding agents are here, but human expertise is still key</strong>: The Go Developer Survey reveals that while 53% of Go developers use AI coding tools daily, only 13% are very satisfied, citing non-functional code and poor quality. This aligns with observations from Zed’s Blog and NetBox Labs, emphasizing that AI automates typing, not thinking, and requires rigorous human review and architectural understanding. NetBox Labs even released a best practices repository for AI agents, acknowledging their growing presence but stressing the need for structured guidance to avoid ‘AI slop’ in open-source projects. The consensus is clear: AI amplifies skilled developers, but doesn’t replace them. <a href="https://app.daily.dev/feed-by-ids?id=yyZ0pKuL1&amp;id=dSFznJ0W1&amp;id=oJ6EYnP2o&amp;id=TFZmmg40D&amp;id=WqQsr4aYR" target="_blank" rel="noopener nofollow">Read more</a></li>
<li><strong>Microsoft’s BitLocker keys now accessible to 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 setting where BitLocker keys are uploaded to Microsoft’s cloud. Security experts warn this practice, while aiding data recovery, significantly increases privacy risks and potential exposure if Microsoft’s cloud is compromised. This incident highlights the trade-off between convenience and privacy, especially for organizations requiring high assurance of data confidentiality. <a href="https://app.daily.dev/posts/6Aq315WBk" target="_blank" rel="noopener nofollow">Read more</a></li>
<li><strong>Coinbase tackles post-quantum security with new advisory board</strong>: Coinbase has established an independent advisory board of quantum computing and cryptography experts, including Scott Aaronson and Dan Boneh, to address quantum computing risks to blockchain security. This proactive move aims to publish position papers and security recommendations, focusing on updates to Bitcoin address handling and research into post-quantum cryptographic schemes like ML-DSA. While quantum computers capable of breaking current cryptography are still ‘years away,’ Coinbase is preparing the broader cryptocurrency ecosystem for this future threat. <a href="https://app.daily.dev/posts/kOhFeBM3q" target="_blank" rel="noopener nofollow">Read more</a></li>

<h2>Bullshit police</h2>
<ul>
<li><strong>AI will automate all software engineering in 6-12 months, says Anthropic CEO</strong>: Anthropic CEO Dario Amodei, at the World Economic Forum, boldly predicted that AI models could perform most or all software engineering tasks within 6-12 months. He claims Anthropic engineers are already just editing AI-generated code. While he admits ‘uncertainty,’ this kind of aggressive timeline, especially from someone with a vested interest, sounds suspiciously like a pitch for more funding rather than a sober assessment of reality. Remember when self-driving cars were ‘just around the corner’? <a href="https://app.daily.dev/posts/0fyNmKnQE" target="_blank" rel="noopener nofollow">Read more</a></li>
<li><strong>Nvidia’s copper miscalculation: a gigawatt data center needs how much?</strong>: Nvidia, apparently, published a paper claiming a gigawatt-scale data center would require a whopping 500,000 tons of copper. Turns out, that’s off by a factor of thousands due to a simple unit conversion error; the correct figure is closer to 200 metric tons. This isn’t just a typo; it’s a glaring example of ‘innumeracy’ in technical fields, reminiscent of NASA’s Mars probe crash. Maybe they should invest in some basic math education instead of just throwing around big numbers to impress investors. <a href="https://app.daily.dev/posts/kgMlKXNFr" target="_blank" rel="noopener nofollow">Read more</a></li>
<li><strong>AI-driven replacement of software libraries: the end of open source as we know it?</strong>: Some are now claiming that AI code generation is increasingly replacing packaged libraries, reducing supply chain vulnerabilities and dependency bloat. They suggest developers are generating custom code instead of using well-vetted open-source projects, and that sharing ‘code prompts’ will replace traditional libraries. This sounds like a fantastic way to reinvent every wheel, introduce bespoke bugs, and completely undermine the collaborative spirit of open source, all in the name of ‘control.’ What could possibly go wrong when every developer becomes their own private, AI-powered library maintainer? <a href="https://app.daily.dev/posts/kqbTJ9NPQ" target="_blank" rel="noopener nofollow">Read more</a></li>
