<li><strong>React server components hit with DoS vulnerability</strong>: Multiple high-severity denial-of-service vulnerabilities (CVE-2026-23864) have been found in React Server Components, affecting versions 19.0.x through 19.2.x. These flaws can be triggered by specially crafted HTTP requests, potentially leading to server crashes or excessive CPU usage. Next.js versions 13.x through 16.x are also affected, though Vercel has deployed WAF mitigations. Immediate upgrades to patched React and Next.js versions are strongly advised. <a href="https://app.daily.dev/feed-by-ids?id=igYAcLEa7&amp;id=igYAcLEa7" target="_blank" rel="noopener nofollow">Read more</a></li>
<li><strong>AI-generated code is breaking open source</strong>: Open-source maintainers are increasingly restricting contributions due to an influx of low-quality, AI-generated pull requests. Projects like TL Draw, Curl, and Zig are overwhelmed by ‘AI slop’ that looks superficially correct but introduces technical debt, draining maintainer resources. This trend, driven by AI tools bypassing traditional community engagement, threatens the sustainability of open-source projects, as highlighted by a research paper and the struggles of Tailwind CSS, which saw a 40% drop in documentation visits and staff layoffs. <a href="https://app.daily.dev/feed-by-ids?id=YH0ajyAf5&amp;id=aDodkq3hd&amp;id=vz4g5mSDD&amp;id=9Rmqfgu76&amp;id=YRC8HFFhU&amp;id=3KjVRqoNX&amp;id=PBAzOX1yL&amp;id=PBAzOX1yL" target="_blank" rel="noopener nofollow">Read more</a></li>
<li><strong>AI-powered phishing is getting scary good</strong>: Criminals are now selling advanced voice-phishing kits on the dark web, targeting Google, Microsoft, and Okta users. These kits create realistic fake login pages and allow attackers to spoof IT helpdesk numbers, intercepting MFA codes and push notifications in real-time during live phone calls. This ‘impersonation-as-a-service’ model, which has evolved rapidly since late 2025, is making social engineering attacks highly sophisticated and coordinated, posing a significant threat to enterprises. <a href="https://app.daily.dev/posts/XzznatbdY" target="_blank" rel="noopener nofollow">Read more</a></li>

<li><strong>Next.js 16 boosts performance and AI debugging</strong>: Next.js 16 is out, making Turbopack the default bundler for 2-5x faster builds and 10x faster hot reloading, while introducing AI debugging via Model Context Protocol (MCP) in DevTools and requiring explicit opt-in for caching. <a href="https://app.daily.dev/posts/91xiEmcVe" target="_blank" rel="noopener nofollow">Read more</a></li>
<li><strong>Firefox tests tab notes and split view</strong>: Mozilla is testing a new ‘Tab Notes’ feature in Firefox to help users remember why they kept tabs open, and Firefox Nightly now defaults to Split View mode for simultaneous viewing of two web pages. <a href="https://app.daily.dev/feed-by-ids?id=Utc1HHrM0&amp;id=tvHaqzfAK" target="_blank" rel="noopener nofollow">Read more</a></li>
<li><strong>AI is changing developer jobs and hiring</strong>: AI is shifting developer roles from coding to higher-level architecture and product design, making communication, collaboration, and community engagement more critical than traditional credentials for landing jobs. <a href="https://app.daily.dev/feed-by-ids?id=b2fEANN64&amp;id=b6dnIx2Vm&amp;id=OjN0nkHHH&amp;id=xiDxzfJJR" target="_blank" rel="noopener nofollow">Read more</a></li>
<li><strong>New PHP 8.6 feature: partial function application</strong>: PHP 8.6 introduces Partial Function Application (PFA), allowing developers to create closures with flexible argument binding using placeholders, reducing verbose inline arrow functions and working well with the new pipe operator. <a href="https://app.daily.dev/feed-by-ids?id=NdU9ZcZUX&amp;id=ZZnSxVSr1" target="_blank" rel="noopener nofollow">Read more</a></li>

<h2>Bullshit police</h2>
<ul>
<li><strong>Apple’s AI pin: because Humane AI’s failure wasn’t enough</strong>: Apple is reportedly cooking up an AI-powered wearable, a ‘thin, circular disc’ with dual cameras and three mics, aiming for a 2027 launch and 20 million units. This, after Humane AI’s similar ‘AI pin’ flopped and shut down within two years. Apparently, Apple thinks the market demand for a tiny, camera-equipped disc that probably spies on you is just waiting to explode, despite all evidence to the contrary. Good luck with that, Tim. <a href="https://app.daily.dev/posts/fgglWe8Qn" target="_blank" rel="noopener nofollow">Read more</a></li>
<li><strong>Cursor’s AI-built browser: more spaghetti than code</strong>: Cursor proudly announced their AI agents built a web browser with 3 million lines of code and a custom Rust rendering engine. Developers who actually looked at the code called it ‘spaghetti,’ said it wouldn’t compile, and noted its heavy reliance on external dependencies, directly contradicting Cursor’s claims of building from scratch. It seems AI is great at generating marketing copy, less so at functional software. <a href="https://app.daily.dev/posts/gcgtwbk5H" target="_blank" rel="noopener nofollow">Read more</a></li>
<li><strong>AI-generated music: because human creativity is just too inefficient</strong>: AI-generated music is topping Billboard charts, with 97% of listeners unable to tell the difference from human-made tracks. Streaming platforms love it for the engagement metrics, and record labels are thrilled with the reduced ‘human artist overhead.’ Meanwhile, 50,000 AI tracks are uploaded daily to Deezer, diluting royalty pools for actual artists. Who needs soul when you have algorithms, right? The EU AI Act is apparently trying to regulate this, but good luck putting the genie back in the autotuned bottle. <a href="https://app.daily.dev/posts/Ftui3RZ0H" target="_blank" rel="noopener nofollow">Read more</a></li>
