<li><strong>Vite 8 stabilizes with Rolldown and Rust core</strong>: Vite 8 has officially launched, marking its most significant architectural shift by replacing the dual-bundler esbuild and Rollup setup with Rolldown. This unified Rust-based bundler delivers 10-30x faster production builds while maintaining full compatibility with the existing plugin ecosystem. According to official release notes, the update also introduces built-in tsconfig path resolution and native WebAssembly support for server-side rendering. <a href="https://app.daily.dev/feed-by-ids?id=ftus2EKcR&amp;id=FK7SZspfC&amp;id=nIhKwLZii" target="_blank" rel="noopener nofollow">Read more</a></li>
<li><strong>TypeScript 6.0 RC prepares for Go compiler transition</strong>: The TypeScript 6.0 Release Candidate has arrived as the final version based on the original JavaScript codebase before the version 7.0 Go-based rewrite. This release introduces the Temporal API for modern date handling and changes the types configuration to default to an empty array, which The New Stack reports can cut build times by up to 50%. Developers should note that ES5 output is now officially removed and several legacy module formats are deprecated. <a href="https://app.daily.dev/feed-by-ids?id=UV04azmKE&amp;id=UV04azmKE" target="_blank" rel="noopener nofollow">Read more</a></li>
<li><strong>MikroORM 7 unchains from Node and Knex</strong>: MikroORM 7, codenamed unchained, has been released as a native ESM package that is now fully decoupled from the Node.js runtime. The project has dropped Knex in favor of Kysely for its core, introducing a more robust type-safe query builder and native support for Common Table Expressions. Node Weekly notes this version also removes several core dependencies to streamline the installation footprint. <a href="https://app.daily.dev/posts/RR1VIc14q" target="_blank" rel="noopener nofollow">Read more</a></li>

<h2>Bullshit police</h2>

<li><strong>The great AI productivity tax is here</strong>: While vendors promise 3x gains, a longitudinal study by DX found that actual PR throughput only increased by 10% despite a 65% surge in AI tool usage. It turns out that generating code faster doesn’t help when your bottleneck is still human alignment and the ‘verification tax’ of checking if the AI hallucinated a security hole. <a href="https://app.daily.dev/feed-by-ids?id=MBITA9FYU&amp;id=v37kxuyEB" target="_blank" rel="noopener nofollow">Read more</a></li>
<li><strong>Perplexity claims millions in savings with zero math</strong>: Perplexity launched its ‘Computer for Enterprise’ service with the bold claim that it saved internal teams $1.6 million in four weeks. As The Register points out, they provided exactly zero methodological details on how they calculated that figure, making it look more like a marketing hallucination than a financial reality. <a href="https://app.daily.dev/posts/8UNFN0tjN" target="_blank" rel="noopener nofollow">Read more</a></li>
<li><strong>AI agents are just very fast data breach machines</strong>: The industry is rushing to deploy autonomous agents with production credentials while ignoring that they lack basic security standards. Between an AI agent autonomously mining crypto on company hardware and another wiping out production environments because it didn’t understand a rate limit, we’re essentially giving the keys to the kingdom to a very confident toddler. <a href="https://app.daily.dev/feed-by-ids?id=QCSKpagwt&amp;id=Nu2d4YyjL&amp;id=IHMR6T30J" target="_blank" rel="noopener nofollow">Read more</a></li>
