<h2>Must know</h2>
<ul>
<li><strong>OpenAI unveils AI-driven harness engineering</strong>: OpenAI has introduced “Harness Engineering,” an internal AI-driven methodology that uses Codex agents for large-scale software development. A five-month experiment reportedly shipped a beta product with one million lines of code, all generated by AI, shifting engineers’ roles to designing environments and specifying intent. This approach, highlighted by Martin Fowler, suggests a future where AI agents handle complex engineering workflows. <a href="https://app.daily.dev/posts/dPCNsAxds" target="_blank" rel="noopener nofollow">Read more</a></li>
<li><strong>Cloudflare R2 local uploads boost performance</strong>: Cloudflare launched “Local Uploads” for its R2 object storage, reducing cross-region write latency by up to 75%. Data is written to the nearest Cloudflare PoP and then asynchronously replicated to the bucket’s home region, making objects immediately accessible. This feature, comparable to AWS S3 Transfer Acceleration, aims to significantly speed up upload performance for geographically distributed workloads. <a href="https://app.daily.dev/posts/XbGrpoJDs" target="_blank" rel="noopener nofollow">Read more</a></li>
<li><strong>PostgreSQL 19 enhances logging granularity</strong>: PostgreSQL 19 introduces the ability to configure <code>log_min_messages</code> per process type, allowing DBAs to target verbose debug logging at specific backend processes like autovacuum or archiver without flooding logs from all processes. This granular control, detailed by depesz, is particularly useful for diagnosing internal behavior and investigating issues without overwhelming log files. <a href="https://app.daily.dev/posts/jFpuJ6YrS" target="_blank" rel="noopener nofollow">Read more</a></li>

<li><strong>AI data centers eye superconductors for power</strong>: AI data centers are exploring high-temperature superconductors (HTS) to replace copper wiring, with Microsoft investing in Veir for HTS cables that offer near-zero resistance and significantly higher capacity. <a href="https://app.daily.dev/posts/jbBqj45d9" target="_blank" rel="noopener nofollow">Read more</a></li>
<li><strong>New security scanner for Laravel projects</strong>: A new open-source security scanner called Ward, written in Go, performs static analysis on Laravel projects to identify vulnerabilities across various severity levels. <a href="https://app.daily.dev/posts/dji7is7Et" target="_blank" rel="noopener nofollow">Read more</a></li>
<li><strong>AWS enables event-driven architectures for RDS SQL server</strong>: AWS has enabled Lambda function triggers directly from RDS for SQL Server database events, allowing for event-driven architectures that decouple business logic from the database. <a href="https://app.daily.dev/posts/KzhIuYzeh" target="_blank" rel="noopener nofollow">Read more</a></li>
<li><strong>Sandkasten offers self-hosted AI agent sandbox</strong>: Sandkasten is a self-hosted sandbox runtime for AI agents, providing stateful Linux sandboxes with persistent shell sessions and file operations using native Linux primitives for isolation. <a href="https://app.daily.dev/posts/kdJWfknAe" target="_blank" rel="noopener nofollow">Read more</a></li>
<li><strong>.NET 11 preview 1 released with async improvements</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>MicroGPT visualizes transformer models in browser</strong>: MicroGPT is a browser-based interactive tool that visualizes the internal workings of a simplified GPT model in real time, allowing users to observe training and adjust parameters. <a href="https://app.daily.dev/posts/OVC1wsXuk" target="_blank" rel="noopener nofollow">Read more</a></li>
<li><strong>Java 25 boosts performance with AOT and GC enhancements</strong>: Java 25 introduces significant performance improvements, including Ahead-Of-Time (AOT) caching, generational Shenandoah and ZGC garbage collectors, and Compact Object Headers to reduce heap size. <a href="https://app.daily.dev/posts/5Gmq7wbhe" target="_blank" rel="noopener nofollow">Read more</a></li>

<h2>Bullshit police</h2>
<ul>
<li><strong>EFF thinks it solved AI slop with ‘trust and spot checks’</strong>: The EFF updated its open-source policy for AI-assisted coding, requiring contributors to understand their code and ensure human-authored comments. Apparently, they think they’ve “cracked the AI slop problem” by shifting accountability upstream. Because, you know, developers are just going to magically become more honest when asked if they <em>really</em> wrote that code. Good luck with that enforcement, folks. <a href="https://app.daily.dev/posts/W3yzAhjLd" target="_blank" rel="noopener nofollow">Read more</a></li>
<li><strong>Unity CEO promises AI will make entire games</strong>: Unity’s CEO claims AI will soon make entire casual games, with a beta coming to GDC that lets developers prompt full games into existence. Sure, because what the world really needs is more Flappy Bird clones generated by an AI trained on Unity docs. It’s almost like they’re trying to distract from, you know, actual game development challenges. Rapid prototyping, maybe, but full games? Please. <a href="https://app.daily.dev/posts/VkFal2xDM" target="_blank" rel="noopener nofollow">Read more</a></li>
<li><strong>Google VP warns against ‘thin IP’ AI startups</strong>: Google Cloud VP Darren Mowry warns that AI startups relying on LLM wrappers or aggregation without deep differentiation are doomed. He’s bullish on “vibe coding platforms.” So, basically, if you’re not building the next TikTok for code, you’re out. It’s almost like the cloud providers want everyone to build on their platforms, and anyone just wrapping an API is, gasp, not adding enough value. Shocking. <a href="https://app.daily.dev/posts/djwfpUzVm" target="_blank" rel="noopener nofollow">Read more</a></li>
