<li><strong>Vite 8 and the Rust tooling takeover</strong>: Vite 8.0 has officially launched, marking a major architectural shift by replacing the esbuild and Rollup dual-bundler setup with Rolldown, a new Rust-based bundler. Benchmarks from the Vite team and VoidZero suggest build speed improvements of 10-30x, with real-world production build times dropping by up to 64%. This release also introduces Wasm SSR support and integrated DevTools, signaling a broader industry move toward native-code tooling for the JavaScript ecosystem. <a href="https://app.daily.dev/feed-by-ids?id=FK7SZspfC&amp;id=jSEmYxr9o&amp;id=nIhKwLZii" target="_blank" rel="noopener nofollow">Read more</a></li>
<li><strong>Laravel 13 and the native AI SDK</strong>: Laravel 13 has been released, bumping the minimum requirement to PHP 8.3 and introducing first-class support for native PHP Attributes across the framework. The headline feature is a new first-party Laravel AI SDK that provides built-in abstractions for text generation, tool-calling agents, and vector-store integrations with pgvector. This update, detailed by Laravel News, aims to make agentic AI a standard component of the modern PHP stack. <a href="https://app.daily.dev/posts/Tq7AY8USq" target="_blank" rel="noopener nofollow">Read more</a></li>
<li><strong>Stryker cyberattack exposes Intune vulnerabilities</strong>: Medical technology giant Stryker confirmed a massive cyberattack that disrupted its global network, with the pro-Iranian group Handala claiming to have wiped 200,000 devices. Security researchers at Unit 42 and Flashpoint indicate the attackers likely abused Microsoft Intune to issue legitimate remote-wipe commands, bypassing traditional EDR. This incident highlights a critical shift in threat actor tactics from custom malware to the weaponization of administrative management planes. <a href="https://app.daily.dev/feed-by-ids?id=qJLUV3dqX&amp;id=kgoMiexIm&amp;id=RNP1WzQpA" target="_blank" rel="noopener nofollow">Read more</a></li>

<h2>Bullshit police</h2>
<ul>
<li><strong>The 100x engineer is back and it is just a prompt</strong>: Opinion pieces are now claiming the gap between ‘great’ and ‘mediocre’ engineers has jumped from 2x to 100x thanks to AI. It is a convenient narrative for managers looking to justify layoffs, but it ignores the fact that generating 100x more code just creates 100x more technical debt for the humans who actually have to maintain it. <a href="https://app.daily.dev/posts/o9h36HY82" target="_blank" rel="noopener nofollow">Read more</a></li>
<li><strong>AI productivity gains are mostly vendor math</strong>: While AI labs scream about 3x productivity boosts, a longitudinal study of 40 companies by DX found that actual PR throughput only increased by 10%. It turns out that typing faster doesn’t help when the real bottlenecks are still unclear requirements, meeting hell, and the 24-hour wait for a human code review. <a href="https://app.daily.dev/posts/MCzNO6zN8" target="_blank" rel="noopener nofollow">Read more</a></li>
<li><strong>The dictionary is suing the future</strong>: Britannica and Merriam-Webster are suing OpenAI for training on 100,000 articles, which is basically the legal equivalent of trying to put the toothpaste back in the tube. While they argue about copyright, the rest of the industry is already moving toward ‘vibe-coded’ intelligence where the source material is less important than the model’s ability to hallucinate a convincing definition. <a href="https://app.daily.dev/posts/WGhnByXeb" target="_blank" rel="noopener nofollow">Read more</a></li>
