<li><strong>Critical ReDoS vulnerabilities in minimatch impact Node.js ecosystem</strong>: Three high-severity vulnerabilities (CVE-2026-27904, 27903, 26996) were patched in the ubiquitous <code>minimatch</code> npm package, which sees nearly 500 million weekly downloads. These flaws involve catastrophic backtracking in regex patterns that can stall the Node.js single-threaded event loop for several seconds. Socket has released free certified patches that can be applied via CLI without requiring a full dependency upgrade, as reported by Socket and various security researchers. <a href="https://app.daily.dev/feed-by-ids?id=2WnWCE8iO&amp;id=89yzay3k6" target="_blank" rel="noopener nofollow">Read more</a></li>
<li><strong>Netflix identifies massive container scaling bottleneck on modern CPUs</strong>: Netflix engineers discovered that migrating to <code>containerd</code> with user namespaces created an O(n) mount operation bottleneck that locked the global VFS, causing 30-second timeouts on high-core Intel instances. Their investigation revealed that AMD’s chiplet architecture handled the contention significantly better than Intel’s centralized mesh. A fix reducing operations to O(1) has been contributed upstream to <code>containerd</code>, effectively eliminating the global lock bottleneck for large-scale deployments. <a href="https://app.daily.dev/posts/cKVVAN6ve" target="_blank" rel="noopener nofollow">Read more</a></li>
<li><strong>Audit reveals systemic code quality issues in AWS SDK for .NET</strong>: A comprehensive technical audit of the AWS SDK for .NET uncovered nearly one million violations, including widespread <code>IDisposable</code> misuse and over 12,000 blocks of cloned code. The report warns that these patterns lead to guaranteed memory leaks and performance degradation in production environments. Developers are advised to exercise caution, as the SDK’s complexity—spanning 442 projects—has hampered internal quality control and unit testing coverage. <a href="https://app.daily.dev/posts/1ODSYlFQR" target="_blank" rel="noopener nofollow">Read more</a></li>

<h2>Bullshit police</h2>
<ul>
<li><strong>Cloudflare uses AI to clone Next.js in a weekend</strong>: Cloudflare is bragging about using AI agents to rebuild a Next.js-compatible framework by running it against Vercel’s own test suites. While they claim smaller bundles and faster builds, the ‘framework’ conveniently lacks minor details like static pre-rendering. It’s a classic ‘we have Next.js at home’ move that ignores the operational reality of maintaining a complex web ecosystem. <a href="https://app.daily.dev/posts/5XUEq41aC" target="_blank" rel="noopener nofollow">Read more</a></li>
<li><strong>The return to PHP is just industry maturity in a trench coat</strong>: Pundits are claiming web development is ‘returning to PHP’ because modern JS frameworks are finally adopting SSR and file-based routing. In reality, the industry is just rediscovering that strict frontend/backend separation was a self-inflicted wound. Calling it a ‘return to PHP’ is a desperate attempt to find a narrative in the fact that we’re finally stopping the over-engineering of simple CRUD apps. <a href="https://app.daily.dev/posts/S646eUkOf" target="_blank" rel="noopener nofollow">Read more</a></li>
<li><strong>Discord age verification is the new privacy theater</strong>: Discord is threatening to require government IDs or face scans for age verification, only to delay the rollout after the inevitable backlash. They claim 90% of users won’t be affected, which is a mathematically creative way of saying they’ll only violate the privacy of the users they actually care about tracking. It’s a compliance-first approach that treats user data as a disposable asset in the face of regulatory pressure. <a href="https://app.daily.dev/posts/5lGD5BLLc" target="_blank" rel="noopener nofollow">Read more</a></li>
