<li><strong>Cloudflare slop forks Next.js with AI assistance</strong>: Cloudflare released VNext, a from-scratch reimplementation of the Next.js API built on Vite and the Rust-based Rolldown bundler. Developed in one week using AI for approximately $1,100 in tokens, it claims 4.4x faster builds and 57% smaller bundles than standard Next.js. Vercel leadership has publicly dismissed the project as a vulnerable ‘slop fork,’ though it represents a significant move toward deploying Next.js apps outside Vercel’s proprietary runtime. <a href="https://app.daily.dev/feed-by-ids?id=zaBGmltYg&amp;id=0fmthSvTN" target="_blank" rel="noopener nofollow">Read more</a></li>
<li><strong>Critical security flaws found in Claude Code and OpenClaw</strong>: Check Point researchers discovered three high-severity vulnerabilities in Anthropic’s Claude Code, including remote code execution via repository hooks and API key theft through base URL overrides. Simultaneously, the popular OpenClaw framework faced a crisis with ‘ClawJacked,’ a WebSocket flaw allowing malicious sites to hijack local agents, and reports of malware in its plugin marketplace. Anthropic has patched the Claude Code issues, but these incidents highlight the massive new attack surface introduced by giving AI agents terminal and filesystem access. <a href="https://app.daily.dev/feed-by-ids?id=JT8SIzueC&amp;id=XEy1gKwP3&amp;id=wuoHBtja5" target="_blank" rel="noopener nofollow">Read more</a></li>
<li><strong>Laravel ecosystem gains private registry and performance tools</strong>: Pricore has launched as an open-source, self-hosted private Composer registry for PHP teams, featuring full v2 API compatibility and FrankenPHP support. On the performance front, developers using the stancl/tenancy package reported a 25x test speedup by wrapping multi-tenant suites in database transactions rather than recreating databases. Additionally, Spatie updated its crawler package to v9, introducing a fluent callback system and driver-based JavaScript rendering that removes the hard Browsershot dependency. <a href="https://app.daily.dev/feed-by-ids?id=Ox3KS5Geh&amp;id=fEixtkjkb&amp;id=SdvyfwQLs" target="_blank" rel="noopener nofollow">Read more</a></li>

<h2>Bullshit police</h2>
<ul>
<li><strong>The SaaS-pocalypse is the new 3D TV</strong>: Venture capitalists and ‘analyslop’ researchers are tripping over themselves to predict that AI agents will kill 90% of SaaS by 2028. They conveniently ignore that enterprise software is built on data gravity, regulatory compliance, and the sheer inertia of Oracle-using dinosaurs, not just the ability to generate a CRUD app in a weekend. It’s a classic case of confusing ‘I can automate this script’ with ‘I can automate this entire business process.’ <a href="https://app.daily.dev/feed-by-ids?id=pY58DrOUO&amp;id=ZrqAcCr0p&amp;id=vtIrb0DTU" target="_blank" rel="noopener nofollow">Read more</a></li>
<li><strong>Prompt engineering is dead, long live context engineering</strong>: The industry has decided that ‘prompt engineering’ is now a dirty word, replaced by the much more sophisticated-sounding ‘context engineering.’ Apparently, the secret to AI success isn’t how you talk to the model, but how much irrelevant documentation you can shove into its finite context window before it starts hallucinating. It’s the same ‘garbage in, garbage out’ principle we’ve had for 40 years, just with a more expensive API bill. <a href="https://app.daily.dev/feed-by-ids?id=HYKgEeyqr&amp;id=nsBumaVOj" target="_blank" rel="noopener nofollow">Read more</a></li>
<li><strong>Samsung’s sustainability award for sound detection</strong>: Samsung’s ‘Galaxy Upcycling’ program promised to turn old phones into Linux PCs and gaming consoles, but actually delivered a feature that detects if a baby is crying. They won a ‘Responsible Business’ award for this, despite recycling only 38,000 phones out of 2 billion sold. It’s a masterclass in greenwashing where a locked bootloader is marketed as a planet-saving feature. <a href="https://app.daily.dev/posts/ebOB9DlFn" target="_blank" rel="noopener nofollow">Read more</a></li>
