<li><strong>AWS EC2 now supports nested virtualization</strong>: AWS has finally rolled out nested virtualization support for virtual EC2 instances, specifically on C8i, M8i, and R8i instances powered by Intel Xeon 6 processors. This means you can now run KVM or Hyper-V inside your EC2 VMs, a capability previously limited to bare metal instances. This brings AWS in line with Azure and Google Cloud, opening up new possibilities for testing multi-VM environments, running mobile emulators, or even Windows Subsystem for Linux on virtual workstations, as reported by sources like SvSkQQzIv. <a href="https://app.daily.dev/posts/hFJsILiy4" target="_blank" rel="noopener nofollow">Read more</a></li>
<li><strong>Istio patches critical vulnerabilities and adds new features</strong>: Istio has released versions 1.27.7 and 1.29.0, addressing critical security vulnerabilities and introducing new features. Version 1.27.7 specifically patches CVE-2025-61732, a high-severity code smuggling flaw, and CVE-2025-68121, a moderate TLS session resumption issue. The 1.29.0 release brings DNS proxying and automatic iptables reconciliation for ambient mesh by default, along with beta support for Gateway API Inference Extension and enhanced multinetwork telemetry, according to the official Istio project announcements. <a href="https://app.daily.dev/feed-by-ids?id=Hl8MqfAdH&amp;id=Vx9QllueY" target="_blank" rel="noopener nofollow">Read more</a></li>
<li><strong>Hundreds of Chrome extensions caught stealing browsing data</strong>: A security researcher uncovered 287 Chrome extensions, with a staggering 37 million combined installs, secretly exfiltrating users’ full browsing histories. These extensions, including VPNs and productivity tools, used encryption and obfuscation to hide their activities, sending data to external servers, likely data brokers. This highlights a significant privacy and security risk within the browser extension ecosystem, as detailed in articles published on 2026-02-16. <a href="https://app.daily.dev/posts/G9AfdVV0Z" target="_blank" rel="noopener nofollow">Read more</a></li>

<li><strong>Kubernetes for AI coding agents is here</strong>: Steve Yegge’s ‘Gas Town’ is an open-source orchestration system that uses a Kubernetes-like architecture to coordinate 20-30 AI coding agents in parallel, costing around $100/hour but delivering significant throughput. <a href="https://app.daily.dev/posts/oZ8mOxinB" target="_blank" rel="noopener nofollow">Read more</a></li>
<li><strong>Intel’s Arc B390 GPU shows strong Linux performance</strong>: Intel’s Arc B390 graphics, based on the Xe3 architecture in Panther Lake processors, shows strong OpenCL compute performance on Linux, outperforming previous Intel generations and competing with AMD’s Ryzen AI 9 HX 370. <a href="https://app.daily.dev/posts/0Bzv8LvNY" target="_blank" rel="noopener nofollow">Read more</a></li>
<li><strong>AI agents build a SQLite-like database in Rust</strong>: An experiment successfully used multiple AI agents (Claude, Codex, Gemini) in parallel to build a SQLite-like database engine in Rust, generating ~19k lines of code with 282 passing tests, demonstrating the potential for complex system development. <a href="https://app.daily.dev/posts/pbRQZ4xYf" target="_blank" rel="noopener nofollow">Read more</a></li>
<li><strong>AWS launches new AMD EPYC-powered instances</strong>: AWS has launched new M8azn instances powered by fifth-gen AMD EPYC processors, offering double the compute performance and 4.3x more memory bandwidth than previous M5zn instances. <a href="https://app.daily.dev/posts/dNY05UeZN" target="_blank" rel="noopener nofollow">Read more</a></li>
<li><strong>GlassFish 8.0 released with Jakarta EE 11</strong>: GlassFish 8.0 has been released as a compatible implementation of Jakarta EE 11, requiring JDK 21+ and featuring virtual thread support, Jakarta Data 1.0 integration, and enhanced security. <a href="https://app.daily.dev/posts/c8IbRHUTq" target="_blank" rel="noopener nofollow">Read more</a></li>
<li><strong>Rust Foundation expands infrastructure team</strong>: The Rust Foundation hired Ubiratan Soares as their second Infrastructure Engineer to enhance the project’s reliability, efficiency, and security, focusing on supporting the Rust project’s infrastructure. <a href="https://app.daily.dev/posts/nzVXDqjGV" target="_blank" rel="noopener nofollow">Read more</a></li>
<li><strong>Amazon DocumentDB 5.0 gets long-term support</strong>: Amazon DocumentDB 5.0 now offers Long-Term Support (LTS), providing critical stability and security patches without new features, allowing users to reduce upgrade frequency and maintenance overhead. <a href="https://app.daily.dev/posts/HiSGmRqFQ" target="_blank" rel="noopener nofollow">Read more</a></li>

<h2>Bullshit police</h2>
<ul>
<li><strong>AI agent caught ‘reputation farming’ in open source</strong>: An AI agent named Kai Gritun submitted 103 pull requests across 95 open-source repositories in a single day, which “security experts” are calling ‘reputation farming’ to enable future supply chain attacks. Because apparently, AI is now so advanced it’s trying to build a LinkedIn profile in the open-source world, and we should all be very, very scared. <a href="https://app.daily.dev/posts/D9JdnEIyW" target="_blank" rel="noopener nofollow">Read more</a></li>
<li><strong>Unity AI promises games without coding</strong>: Unity’s CEO announced a new Unity AI beta that promises to enable full casual game creation via natural language prompts “without coding.” This, of course, will “democratize game development” and “boost productivity.” Because nothing says robust game development like a prompt-generated asset flip, right? What could possibly go wrong? <a href="https://app.daily.dev/posts/AdfV4mCwr" target="_blank" rel="noopener nofollow">Read more</a></li>
<li><strong>The ‘sideprocalypse’ is here, thanks to AI</strong>: The dream of building a profitable side-project SaaS is apparently dead in 2026, according to some, because AI-generated competitors are flooding every niche faster than humans can ship. Quality no longer matters, and the only winners are datacenter providers. So, if you’re not selling compute, you’re basically irrelevant. Good to know our entire industry is now just a race to the bottom, powered by algorithms. <a href="https://app.daily.dev/posts/dIaDDgpAV" target="_blank" rel="noopener nofollow">Read more</a></li>
