<li><strong>Pinterest slashes carousel code by 90 percent using native CSS</strong>: Pinterest’s engineering team replaced a 2,000-line JavaScript carousel with just 200 lines of native CSS, resulting in a 15% improvement in page load times. By eliminating main-thread blocking and removing jank, the team saw measurable engagement gains in A/B testing. They are now exploring CSS view transitions as a lightweight alternative to heavy animation libraries across their home feed and search pages, according to a report on YouTube. <a href="https://app.daily.dev/posts/OmQ3qCuNd" target="_blank" rel="noopener nofollow">Read more</a></li>
<li><strong>Microsoft rolls back Copilot AI entry points in Windows 11</strong>: Responding to user feedback and growing AI fatigue, Microsoft is reducing Copilot integrations in core apps like Photos, Notepad, and Snipping Tool to focus on “more intentional” experiences. The roadmap for Windows 11 is shifting back toward performance and reliability, including long-requested features like vertical taskbar positioning and better control over Windows Updates. This pivot follows a Pew Research study showing that half of U.S. adults are more concerned than excited about pervasive AI integration. <a href="https://app.daily.dev/posts/R3I8JkvR5" target="_blank" rel="noopener nofollow">Read more</a></li>
<li><strong>Trivy vulnerability scanner hit by major supply chain attack</strong>: Hackers compromised Aqua Security’s Trivy scanner, injecting malicious code into nearly all versions of the tool and its associated GitHub Actions. The malware was designed to exfiltrate sensitive CI/CD secrets, including GitHub tokens and cloud credentials, to attacker-controlled servers. Maintainers urge anyone using affected versions to rotate all pipeline secrets immediately, as the Apache Software Foundation has already begun disabling ‘verified creator’ actions in response. <a href="https://app.daily.dev/posts/2d8XVA28P" target="_blank" rel="noopener nofollow">Read more</a></li>

<h2>Bullshit police</h2>

<li><strong>The vibe coding hangover</strong>: Amazon reportedly lost 6.3 million orders during a six-hour outage because junior devs ‘vibe coded’ their way into production failures they couldn’t debug. Now, senior engineers are being forced to babysit every single AI-generated PR, proving that ‘moving fast’ with LLMs just means breaking things you don’t understand. <a href="https://app.daily.dev/feed-by-ids?id=kWuil8E6j&amp;id=sinZXsyhK" target="_blank" rel="noopener nofollow">Read more</a></li>
<li><strong>Adobe’s 150 million dollar slap on the wrist</strong>: The DOJ settled with Adobe over their predatory ‘hidden fee’ subscription model for a measly 0.3% of their revenue, without actually requiring them to change their dark patterns. It’s a classic case of ‘the cost of doing business’ where the fine is cheaper than actually treating customers with a shred of respect. <a href="https://app.daily.dev/posts/wz1Ndpn1m" target="_blank" rel="noopener nofollow">Read more</a></li>
<li><strong>OpenShot’s annual performance miracle</strong>: OpenShot 3.5 is out with the usual claims of being ‘35% faster,’ a boast they’ve made in almost every release for the last decade while remaining famously unstable. Critics are already pointing out that if these cumulative gains were real, the app would be rendering frames before you even clicked the button. <a href="https://app.daily.dev/posts/WeIeZOoLe" target="_blank" rel="noopener nofollow">Read more</a></li>
