<li><strong>Google and Anthropic launch competing AI agent frameworks</strong>: Google has expanded its open-source Agent Development Kit (ADK) to support Python, TypeScript, and Go, featuring deep integrations with OpenTelemetry for production observability. Simultaneously, Anthropic introduced Programmatic Tool Calling for Claude Opus 4.6, which orchestrates multiple tool calls within a sandboxed container to reduce latency and token overhead. While Google focuses on a curated partner ecosystem including Postman and GitHub, Anthropic’s approach aims for raw performance, claiming an 11% accuracy boost on complex search tasks. <a href="https://app.daily.dev/feed-by-ids?id=xhVrevcZc&amp;id=0Sd168FyP&amp;id=vAXEzsvcf" target="_blank" rel="noopener nofollow">Read more</a></li>
<li><strong>Motorola and GrapheneOS partner for hardened Android hardware</strong>: In a significant shift for mobile security, Motorola announced a long-term partnership with the GrapheneOS Foundation to bring the privacy-focused OS to flagship devices like the Razr and ThinkPhone by 2027. This collaboration marks the first time a major OEM will officially support the hardened OS, moving beyond its historical dependency on Google Pixel hardware. Motorola is reportedly working to meet GrapheneOS’s strict requirements for hardware memory tagging and guaranteed update cadences to satisfy enterprise and government buyers. <a href="https://app.daily.dev/posts/InYjzvxra" target="_blank" rel="noopener nofollow">Read more</a></li>
<li><strong>AWS transitions VPC Encryption Controls to a paid service</strong>: Starting March 1, 2026, AWS has moved VPC Encryption Controls from a free preview to a paid feature, charging a fixed hourly rate per non-empty VPC. The service allows infrastructure teams to audit and enforce encryption-in-transit, with a ‘Monitor’ mode for detection and an ‘Enforce’ mode that actively blocks unencrypted traffic. This change coincides with the release of the amazon.aws 11.0.0 Ansible collection, which refactors S3 utilities and updates minimum SDK requirements to botocore 1.35. <a href="https://app.daily.dev/feed-by-ids?id=OBfUJhvys&amp;id=jSZQYvWpX" target="_blank" rel="noopener nofollow">Read more</a></li>

<h2>Bullshit police</h2>
<ul>
<li><strong>The 34 percent AI alignment miracle</strong>: Atlassian claims a single 60-minute ‘AI retrospective’ increased team alignment by 34%, a suspiciously precise metric for something as vibes-based as ‘alignment.’ The study was conducted by Atlassian’s own ‘Teamwork Lab’ on just 33 teams, making it more of a marketing brochure for their internal culture than a reproducible scientific result. It’s a classic case of a SaaS vendor inventing a problem just to prove their ‘simple ritual’ solved it. <a href="https://app.daily.dev/posts/s9jeiAAAG" target="_blank" rel="noopener nofollow">Read more</a></li>
<li><strong>Stellar CSS is the Tailwind killer from 3D art</strong>: A developer is pitching ‘Stellar CSS’ as a revolutionary alternative to Tailwind because it’s inspired by Blender and doesn’t use Node.js. While avoiding the npm black hole is nice, claiming a ‘parametric CSS tool’ with a ‘pro lifetime license’ is a sustainable business model compared to Tailwind is peak indie-dev delusion. It’s another ‘I built a tool to solve my own specific annoyance’ project wrapped in ‘nonprofit’ marketing fluff. <a href="https://app.daily.dev/posts/peaMJGK0d" target="_blank" rel="noopener nofollow">Read more</a></li>
<li><strong>AI agents are replacing your customer support today</strong>: Startup <a href="http://14.ai" target="_blank" rel="noopener nofollow">14.ai</a> is making the rounds claiming they can replace entire support teams with ‘AI engineers’ and autonomous agents that integrate in 24 hours. They conveniently ignore the ‘human-in-the-loop’ reality where senior engineers are actually just working longer hours to fix the hallucinations the agents produce. It’s the same ‘1-pizza team’ hype that mistakes increased cognitive load for actual productivity gains. <a href="https://app.daily.dev/feed-by-ids?id=8xZMOicbk&amp;id=YVSjgbrYH" target="_blank" rel="noopener nofollow">Read more</a></li>
