<li><strong>Amazon outages highlight the cost of unvetted AI code</strong>: Amazon recently suffered multiple production outages, including one that wiped 120,000 orders, after internal AI tools like Amazon Q pushed buggy code to production. Despite laying off 16,000 engineers, the company has now mandated senior engineer sign-off for all AI-generated changes, effectively admitting that next-token predictors lack the context for high-stakes infrastructure. These incidents, reported by various industry insiders, underscore a growing gap between AI-driven productivity hype and actual system reliability. <a href="https://app.daily.dev/feed-by-ids?id=Nu2d4YyjL&amp;id=fGgNFxUDn" target="_blank" rel="noopener nofollow">Read more</a></li>
<li><strong>GlassWorm malware targets Open VSX and GitHub supply chains</strong>: A new wave of the GlassWorm campaign has compromised over 150 GitHub repositories and VS Code extensions on the Open VSX registry by impersonating tools like ESLint and Claude Code. Socket researchers found that the malware uses invisible Unicode characters to hide payloads that are only executed at runtime, bypassing traditional static analysis. Developers are urged to audit dependencies and disable automatic extension updates to mitigate the risk of silent malware delivery. <a href="https://app.daily.dev/feed-by-ids?id=yKzLDg3bN&amp;id=7qAB3XlzU" target="_blank" rel="noopener nofollow">Read more</a></li>
<li><strong>Avalonia UI shifts to paid licensing for VS Code tooling</strong>: The Avalonia team has released a major update to its VS Code extension, achieving feature parity with Visual Studio, but has simultaneously moved the extension to a closed-source, paid model under the Avalonia Accelerate subscription. While a free community license exists for small organizations, this shift marks a significant change in the .NET cross-platform ecosystem’s open-source dynamics. The team also launched Avalonia 12.0 Preview 1, which drops support for older .NET versions to focus on .NET 8 performance. <a href="https://app.daily.dev/feed-by-ids?id=I5gILgxNy&amp;id=RDfVaJWvK&amp;id=nUNCPicmg" target="_blank" rel="noopener nofollow">Read more</a></li>

<h2>Bullshit police</h2>

<li><strong>The 57 minute mobile app mirage</strong>: Another developer claims to have built a ‘functional’ mobile game in under an hour using Claude and Codex, only to admit the result was a soul-less, boring mess. It turns out that while AI is great at vomiting out React Native boilerplate, it still hasn’t mastered the ‘fun’ part of game design. We’re rapidly approaching a future filled with technically perfect, entirely unplayable digital landfill. <a href="https://app.daily.dev/feed-by-ids?id=yDU0YQOtJ&amp;id=8mHkiEYNC" target="_blank" rel="noopener nofollow">Read more</a></li>
<li><strong>AI wrappers are the new spam</strong>: Google and Accel India’s recent startup accelerator rejected 70% of applicants because they were just ‘AI wrappers’—thin UI layers over existing LLMs with zero original workflow. These ‘startups’ are essentially trying to arbitrage API calls while pretending they’ve reinvented the wheel. If your business model can be wiped out by a single ChatGPT system prompt update, it’s not a company; it’s a feature request. <a href="https://app.daily.dev/posts/PcGN0Wquf" target="_blank" rel="noopener nofollow">Read more</a></li>
<li><strong>IPv4x is the network protocol that shouldn’t be</strong>: A new ‘thought experiment’ proposes IPv4x, a 128-bit extension to IPv4 designed to avoid the ‘pain’ of IPv6 adoption. It’s a classic case of engineering denialism, suggesting we should rewrite DNS, DHCP, and every router on earth just to avoid learning a new address format. At this point, dreaming up ‘IPv4 with extra steps’ is just a sophisticated way of procrastinating on your network migration. <a href="https://app.daily.dev/posts/MgAj9qPB2" target="_blank" rel="noopener nofollow">Read more</a></li>
