<li><strong>Inertia.js v3.0 drops Axios and adds optimistic updates</strong>: The major release of Inertia.js v3.0 replaces Axios with a custom 15KB-lighter XHR client and introduces a <code>useHttp</code> hook for non-navigation reactive requests. First-class optimistic update support is now baked into the router and forms with automatic rollback for failed requests, significantly improving the perceived performance of Laravel-backed SPAs. According to Laravel News, SSR now functions in Vite dev mode without requiring a separate Node.js process. <a href="https://app.daily.dev/posts/WWmxp0DEw" target="_blank" rel="noopener nofollow">Read more</a></li>
<li><strong>Symfony Tui brings rich terminal interfaces to PHP 8.4</strong>: Fabien Potencier has announced the Symfony Tui component, a dedicated library for building interactive terminal UIs using Twig-based templates and Tailwind-like utility classes. Unlike the standard Console component, Tui leverages PHP Fibers and the Revolt event loop for real-time rendering and mouse support without requiring extra extensions. The component includes a full widget toolkit and is already being used to power production-grade AI coding agents. <a href="https://app.daily.dev/posts/N57SSBwjG" target="_blank" rel="noopener nofollow">Read more</a></li>
<li><strong>KubeVirt v1.8 expands hypervisor support and AI topology</strong>: Released at KubeCon Europe, KubeVirt v1.8 introduces a Hypervisor Abstraction Layer to support backends beyond KVM, alongside support for Kubernetes 1.35. For backend engineers handling heavy workloads, the update adds PCIe NUMA topology awareness specifically for AI performance and Intel TDX for confidential computing. Scalability tests reported by the project show the control plane now comfortably manages up to 8,000 virtual machine instances. <a href="https://app.daily.dev/posts/GGgRL0lhA" target="_blank" rel="noopener nofollow">Read more</a></li>

<li><strong>LiteLLM hit by PyPI supply chain attack</strong>: Security researchers identified a backdoor in LiteLLM versions on PyPI involving base64-encoded payloads in orphaned processes. <a href="https://app.daily.dev/feed-by-ids?id=DtWPHeTcL&amp;id=fz5dBqSfO" target="_blank" rel="noopener nofollow">Read more</a></li>

<li><strong>LlamaIndex pivots to local parsing infrastructure</strong>: The framework is shifting toward LiteParse, an open-source local parser, as LLM reasoning makes complex orchestration frameworks less relevant. <a href="https://app.daily.dev/posts/n3vv6Br8t" target="_blank" rel="noopener nofollow">Read more</a></li>

<h2>Bullshit police</h2>
<ul>
<li><strong>The AI job search arms race is getting weird</strong>: One developer built a system to scrape LinkedIn, run ‘strengths-and-gaps’ analysis via Claude, and auto-generate tailored resumes for every role. While the engineering is neat, we’ve officially reached the point where AI-generated applications are being screened by AI-powered ATS filters. It’s just two LLMs talking to each other while humans wonder why the hiring process feels like a void. <a href="https://app.daily.dev/posts/0YroeqW2V" target="_blank" rel="noopener nofollow">Read more</a></li>
<li><strong>Zero Motorcycles discovers security is hard</strong>: Zero Motorcycles electric bikes were found to have hardcoded credentials and zero authentication on the CAN bus, allowing remote control of braking via Bluetooth. It took 13 months and the intervention of CERT/CC for them to even respond to the disclosure. Apparently, ‘innovation’ in EVs doesn’t always include basic firmware signing or not leaving the front door wide open. <a href="https://app.daily.dev/posts/RgBM7VgFk" target="_blank" rel="noopener nofollow">Read more</a></li>
<li><strong>The myth of the clean software deletion</strong>: Modern software is great at creating state but allergic to cleaning it up, as seen in macOS misreporting 200GB of ‘system data’ from orphaned simulator runtimes. Deletion UIs are increasingly performative, leaving behind hidden volumes and system-managed assets that require manual CLI intervention to actually purge. We don’t need more features; we need a ‘death model’ for software that actually works. <a href="https://app.daily.dev/posts/9dzlQd5j9" target="_blank" rel="noopener nofollow">Read more</a></li>
