<li><strong>OpenAI acquires Astral to own the Python plumbing</strong>: OpenAI has acquired Astral, the team behind the high-performance Rust-based Python tools uv and Ruff. According to reports from Simon Willison, the Astral team will join the Codex group to integrate these tools directly into AI developer workflows. While OpenAI claims it will maintain the open-source projects, the move mirrors Anthropic’s acquisition of Bun, signaling a strategic land grab for the underlying infrastructure that AI agents use to execute code. <a href="https://app.daily.dev/feed-by-ids?id=lqMrRsYud&amp;id=G7iZQZ26W" target="_blank" rel="noopener nofollow">Read more</a></li>
<li><strong>FBI seizes Handala domains following Stryker infrastructure wipe</strong>: The FBI and DOJ seized the websites of the pro-Iranian group Handala after a devastating cyberattack on medical tech giant Stryker. The attackers compromised an administrator account to hijack Microsoft Intune dashboards, which they used to remotely wipe tens of thousands of employee devices. CISA has issued an urgent advisory for organizations to harden Intune access with least-privilege roles and dual-administrator approval for high-impact actions like device wipes. <a href="https://app.daily.dev/posts/N8kFe3mft" target="_blank" rel="noopener nofollow">Read more</a></li>
<li><strong>Interlock ransomware exploits Cisco zero day for 38 days</strong>: The Interlock ransomware group exploited a critical remote code execution vulnerability in Cisco Secure Firewall Management Center (CVE-2026-20131) for over a month before a patch was available. Amazon’s MadPot honeypot network revealed the attack chain, which utilized deserialization flaws to gain root access. Admins are urged by Cisco and security researchers to apply the March 4 patch immediately to prevent further lateral movement within enterprise networks. <a href="https://app.daily.dev/posts/kS1FWAP6y" target="_blank" rel="noopener nofollow">Read more</a></li>

<h2>Bullshit police</h2>
<ul>
<li><strong>The vibe coding delusion and the death of expertise</strong>: Industry talking heads are now unironically promoting ‘vibe coding’—the idea that you can just ‘direct’ AI agents to build 500,000-line microservice architectures in a week. While Jellyfish reports that top adopters have doubled PR throughput, they also admit this code is flooding maintainers with subtle, ‘correct-looking’ flaws that strain review processes to the breaking point. We’re trading deep architectural understanding for a mountain of technical debt that no one actually knows how to debug. <a href="https://app.daily.dev/feed-by-ids?id=0hn0P8EbP&amp;id=LJipAqA3r&amp;id=C77DjYGcj" target="_blank" rel="noopener nofollow">Read more</a></li>
<li><strong>PwC threatens staff with AI or the door</strong>: PwC US CEO Paul Griggs has declared that senior staff who aren’t ‘AI-first’ will be replaced, despite his own firm’s research showing over half of businesses see zero benefit from AI. They are even considering ditching hourly billing for ‘AI-driven subscriptions,’ which sounds like a desperate attempt to rebrand declining consultant value as high-tech efficiency. It’s a bold strategy to fire your experts in favor of a tool that still can’t reliably explain why it made a specific tax recommendation. <a href="https://app.daily.dev/posts/f99oheuSo" target="_blank" rel="noopener nofollow">Read more</a></li>
<li><strong>Context rot is the new architectural ceiling</strong>: Researchers have finally quantified ‘context rot,’ proving that even the most expensive frontier models lose 60% of facts after a single compression pass. Despite the hype around million-token windows, the information systematically evaporates during multi-turn conversations, leading models to violate constraints with ‘full confidence.’ It turns out that throwing more tokens at the problem is just a more expensive way to watch your AI hallucinate your project requirements. <a href="https://app.daily.dev/posts/X2JhFEKeS" target="_blank" rel="noopener nofollow">Read more</a></li>
