<h2>Must know</h2>
<ul>
<li><strong>Cloudflare R2 gets local uploads for faster writes</strong>: Cloudflare has launched “Local Uploads” for its R2 object storage, now in open beta. This feature significantly reduces cross-region write latency by allowing data to be written to the nearest Cloudflare PoP and then asynchronously replicated to the bucket’s home region. Objects are immediately accessible after the initial write, offering a performance boost for geographically distributed workloads, as reported by Cloudflare itself. <a href="https://app.daily.dev/posts/XbGrpoJDs" target="_blank" rel="noopener nofollow">Read more</a></li>
<li><strong>OpenAI introduces harness engineering for AI-driven software development</strong>: OpenAI has unveiled “Harness Engineering,” an internal methodology leveraging Codex agents for large-scale software development. This approach automates code generation, testing, and CI workflows, with a five-month experiment yielding a beta product of one million lines of code with no manual source code. Engineers’ roles shifted to designing environments and specifying intent, using declarative prompts to guide the AI agents, according to OpenAI’s announcement. <a href="https://app.daily.dev/posts/dPCNsAxds" target="_blank" rel="noopener nofollow">Read more</a></li>
<li><strong>Cloudflare outage caused by BYOIP bug</strong>: Cloudflare experienced a 6-hour outage affecting its Bring Your Own IP (BYOIP) service due to a software bug in a new cleanup sub-task. An API query error caused the system to unintentionally withdraw approximately 1,100 BGP prefixes, leading to widespread disruption. Cloudflare has outlined several remediation steps, including improved API schema validation and circuit breakers, to prevent similar incidents. <a href="https://app.daily.dev/posts/hy3FNhBxD" target="_blank" rel="noopener nofollow">Read more</a></li>

<li><strong>EFF updates open-source policy for AI-assisted coding</strong>: The Electronic Frontier Foundation (EFF) updated its open-source contribution policy, requiring contributors to understand submitted code and ensure all comments and documentation are human-authored, shifting accountability upstream rather than relying on AI detection. <a href="https://app.daily.dev/posts/W3yzAhjLd" target="_blank" rel="noopener nofollow">Read more</a></li>
<li><strong>AWS enables event-driven architectures for RDS SQL server</strong>: AWS now allows Lambda function triggers directly from RDS for SQL Server database events, enabling event-driven architectures using stored procedures, CloudWatch Logs, SNS, and SQS to decouple business logic. <a href="https://app.daily.dev/posts/KzhIuYzeh" target="_blank" rel="noopener nofollow">Read more</a></li>
<li><strong>Ghostty 1.3 adds scrollbar support</strong>: Ghostty 1.3.0 will introduce scrollbar support, a highly requested feature for the terminal emulator, available in development builds on Linux and macOS, alongside a command palette session search and tab renaming. <a href="https://app.daily.dev/posts/AthQk05VJ" target="_blank" rel="noopener nofollow">Read more</a></li>
<li><strong>Datastar simplifies modern web development</strong>: Datastar is an 11 KB backend-driven hypermedia framework that unifies HTMX and Alpine.js functionalities, using Server-Sent Events for real-time push updates without WebSockets or a JavaScript build pipeline. <a href="https://app.daily.dev/posts/GKcflrWUw" target="_blank" rel="noopener nofollow">Read more</a></li>
<li><strong>.NET 11 preview 1 released with async improvements and C# 15</strong>: .NET 11 Preview 1 introduces runtime-level async improvements, Zstandard compression support, and new C# 15 language features, signaling the direction for the next major .NET release. <a href="https://app.daily.dev/feed-by-ids?id=QBAQQNpLN&amp;id=xPZZ4nMO0" target="_blank" rel="noopener nofollow">Read more</a></li>
<li><strong>Sandkasten offers self-hosted sandbox for AI agents</strong>: Sandkasten provides stateful Linux sandboxes for AI agents using native Linux primitives for isolation, supporting Python and Node.js runtimes, and integrating with OpenAI Agents SDK and LangChain. <a href="https://app.daily.dev/posts/kdJWfknAe" target="_blank" rel="noopener nofollow">Read more</a></li>
<li><strong>TigerBeetle engineer shares indexing naming convention</strong>: A TigerBeetle engineer proposes a naming convention using <code>index</code>, <code>count</code>, <code>offset</code>, and <code>size</code> to reduce off-by-one and indexing bugs, making code correctness more mechanically verifiable. <a href="https://app.daily.dev/posts/p5Qa2439C" target="_blank" rel="noopener nofollow">Read more</a></li>

<h2>Bullshit police</h2>
<ul>
<li><strong>Google VP warns against thin AI wrappers, because who needs innovation?</strong>: Google Cloud VP Darren Mowry is out here warning that AI startups just wrapping existing LLMs or acting as aggregators are doomed. Apparently, if you’re not building deep differentiation or vertical specialization, you’re just another AWS reseller waiting to be squeezed out. Because, you know, the market totally needs fewer options and more monolithic solutions. <a href="https://app.daily.dev/posts/djwfpUzVm" target="_blank" rel="noopener nofollow">Read more</a></li>
<li><strong>OpenAI promotes local codex developer meetups, because community is totally organic</strong>: OpenAI is promoting community meetups for Codex developers, complete with an ambassador program to help people “create and ship projects.” It’s all about building community, they say. Nothing to see here, just a benevolent tech giant fostering grassroots movements, definitely not trying to expand its ecosystem and lock in developers. <a href="https://app.daily.dev/posts/kpaXVeVV9" target="_blank" rel="noopener nofollow">Read more</a></li>
<li><strong>Bluesky’s decentralization is mostly a vibe, not a reality</strong>: Bluesky keeps pushing its decentralized ATProto, but apparently, almost all user data is still chilling on Bluesky-controlled servers. Self-hosting is an option, but nobody uses it, and Bluesky still controls all the critical chokepoints. It’s like saying your car is decentralized because you can technically walk, but you’re still stuck in traffic on their roads. <a href="https://app.daily.dev/posts/K0INNI2R9" target="_blank" rel="noopener nofollow">Read more</a></li>
