<li><strong>Vite 8.0 lands with Rust powered Rolldown</strong>: The Vite team has officially swapped out Rollup for Rolldown, a Rust-based bundler built on Oxc that claims build speeds 10-30x faster. This release also introduces Wasm support for SSR and a new DevTools suite for build analysis, signaling a major shift toward native-tooling dominance in the frontend ecosystem. According to The Register, future updates aim to slash dev server startup times by another 3x through a full bundle mode. <a href="https://app.daily.dev/posts/mksK39aMS" target="_blank" rel="noopener nofollow">Read more</a></li>
<li><strong>NVIDIA GTC 2026 reveals Vera CPU and DLSS 5</strong>: NVIDIA unveiled the Vera CPU, a custom 88-core chip designed specifically for agentic AI workloads with 1.2 TB/s memory bandwidth. On the graphics front, DLSS 5 was introduced as a neural rendering model that moves beyond upscaling to generate lighting and materials from scratch. While Digital Foundry noted impressive realism, early demos faced criticism for an over-processed AI look and altered character faces in titles like Resident Evil: Requiem. <a href="https://app.daily.dev/feed-by-ids?id=te2HRAtVx&amp;id=5RfcDxaY5&amp;id=VcgVkME6V" target="_blank" rel="noopener nofollow">Read more</a></li>
<li><strong>GlassWorm malware infects Open VSX registry</strong>: A sophisticated supply-chain attack has hit the Open VSX extension registry, with 72 malicious extensions identified impersonating tools like ESLint, Prettier, and Claude Code. The malware uses a delayed execution tactic, publishing clean extensions that later pull in hidden GlassWorm loader payloads via automatic dependency updates. Socket researchers warn that some malicious packages remain live and recommend immediate audits of all VS Code extension dependencies. <a href="https://app.daily.dev/posts/yKzLDg3bN" target="_blank" rel="noopener nofollow">Read more</a></li>

<h2>Bullshit police</h2>
<ul>
<li><strong>The 57 minute mobile game miracle</strong>: A developer used Claude and React Native to ‘build’ a game in under an hour, which is a great way to produce a soul-less, boring app that no human actually wants to play. It turns out that while AI is great at generating boilerplate, it still has the creative depth of a damp sponge when it comes to game design. <a href="https://app.daily.dev/posts/yDU0YQOtJ" target="_blank" rel="noopener nofollow">Read more</a></li>
<li><strong>Agentic AI and the 100k dollar chat session</strong>: While everyone is hyping ‘autonomous agents’ for enterprise workflows, Gartner and others are starting to notice that 96% of organizations are seeing costs explode. Some single agent sessions have reportedly hit $100,000, proving that ‘letting the AI figure it out’ is mostly just a very expensive way to find out you have no guardrails. <a href="https://app.daily.dev/feed-by-ids?id=ZsR4Q7LWZ&amp;id=aVcUWoSUS" target="_blank" rel="noopener nofollow">Read more</a></li>
<li><strong>The digital AI exposure score</strong>: Andrej Karpathy released a tool to score job ‘AI exposure’ using an LLM, which is essentially asking the wolf to rate the security of the sheepfold. Using Gemini to decide which human careers are obsolete is the ultimate meta-hype loop that ignores the massive gap between ‘can write a script’ and ‘can actually do the job.’ <a href="https://app.daily.dev/posts/0kckLGbhk" target="_blank" rel="noopener nofollow">Read more</a></li>
