<li><strong>AI agents are breaking traditional IAM models</strong>: AI agents, with their delegated authority and broad, persistent permissions, are fundamentally incompatible with existing Identity and Access Management (IAM) systems. This creates significant security risks, as agents can bypass conventional access protocols and lack clear accountability, especially “organizational agents” shared across teams. The articles highlight an urgent need for new security protocols to track relationships between users, agents, and systems, treating agents as high-risk entities with unique management requirements, as reported by multiple security analyses. <a href="https://app.daily.dev/feed-by-ids?id=nUFRFzE1V&amp;id=nUFRFzE1V" target="_blank" rel="noopener nofollow">Read more</a></li>
<li><strong>Microsoft Aspire expands beyond .NET, embraces AI/ML</strong>: Microsoft’s Aspire platform, formerly .NET Aspire, now supports JavaScript, TypeScript, Python, and Java, broadening its appeal for distributed application development. This move, announced on January 24, 2026, aims to attract a wider developer base, particularly for AI/ML and web development. Microsoft is also incentivizing adoption with a six-month ‘Proof of Usefulness Hackathon,’ offering prizes for AI/ML-focused projects, signaling a strategic push into these areas. <a href="https://app.daily.dev/feed-by-ids?id=gRAkh5lrI&amp;id=gRAkh5lrI" target="_blank" rel="noopener nofollow">Read more</a></li>
<li><strong>CISA warns of active exploitation in VMware vCenter flaw</strong>: The Cybersecurity and Infrastructure Security Agency (CISA) has confirmed active exploitation of VMware vCenter Server vulnerability CVE-2024-37079, a critical heap overflow flaw with a CVSS score of 9.8. This vulnerability allows remote code execution and can be combined with other exploits to gain root access to ESXi. Broadcom issued a patch in June 2024, and federal agencies are mandated to patch by February 13, 2026, underscoring the severity and widespread risk. <a href="https://app.daily.dev/posts/sI8icXzRd" target="_blank" rel="noopener nofollow">Read more</a></li>

<h2>Bullshit police</h2>

<li><strong>AI killed your job, now evolve or perish</strong>: According to UX Planet, AI is turning specialized technical roles into commodities, so you better pivot from execution to ‘outcome ownership’ if you want to survive. Apparently, the future belongs to those who can define constraints and validate outputs, not actually build anything. It’s a familiar tune: technology eliminates jobs, but this time, instead of learning new skills, we’re told to become strategic accountability gurus. Because, you know, everyone can be a visionary. <a href="https://app.daily.dev/posts/X0LIQLha9" target="_blank" rel="noopener nofollow">Read more</a></li>
<li><strong>AI coding tools: the new tribal warfare</strong>: Nolan Lawson reports that debates around LLMs have devolved into tribalism, with some developers now seeing 90% of their code authored by tools like Claude Code. While acknowledging AI’s bug detection and iterative improvements, the author admits ‘nobody truly knows where it’s heading.’ So, we’re all just experimenting, but please, let’s be empathetic about it, even as the tech crosses a ‘practical threshold’ and we collectively shrug about the future of software development. <a href="https://app.daily.dev/posts/BCMHZegjN" target="_blank" rel="noopener nofollow">Read more</a></li>
<li><strong>New language Coi claims to beat React/Vue, trust us</strong>: A new component-based language called Coi, targeting WebAssembly, is making bold claims about superior UI performance over React and Vue, citing benchmarks where it renders canvas at 100 FPS versus Emscripten’s 40 FPS. All these impressive numbers come directly from the Coi project’s own publicity, naturally. No independent verification, no adoption rates, just pure, unadulterated self-promotion. What could possibly go wrong with a new framework that ‘eliminates the need for virtual DOM diffing’? <a href="https://app.daily.dev/feed-by-ids?id=iOGOTjzat&amp;id=iOGOTjzat&amp;id=iOGOTjzat" target="_blank" rel="noopener nofollow">Read more</a></li>
