<h2>Must know</h2>
<ul>
<li><strong>Java 25 brings performance and memory gains</strong>: Java 25 is set to deliver a “Triforce” of performance improvements, including Ahead-Of-Time (AOT) caching for up to 50% faster startup times, enhanced garbage collectors (generational Shenandoah and ZGC), and Compact Object Headers to reduce heap size by 22%. These updates aim to make Java a more modern, high-performance platform, addressing long-standing criticisms and positioning it for demanding enterprise workloads. <a href="https://app.daily.dev/feed-by-ids?id=5Gmq7wbhe&amp;id=8TEF3jM08&amp;id=9oN6Saf5i" target="_blank" rel="noopener nofollow">Read more</a></li>
<li><strong>PostgreSQL features you should know</strong>: Nine underused PostgreSQL features can replace complex application logic with native database capabilities, including <code>EXCLUDE</code> constraints for range conflicts, <code>CHECK</code> constraints for row-level validation, <code>GENERATED</code> columns for derived data, and <code>DISTINCT ON</code> for concise grouping. These features, along with <code>FILTER</code> clauses, <code>PARTITION BY</code> window functions, <code>ON CONFLICT</code> upserts, composite types, and recursive CTEs, can significantly simplify application code and improve database performance. <a href="https://app.daily.dev/posts/NeZIDnBNU" target="_blank" rel="noopener nofollow">Read more</a></li>
<li><strong>Uber open-sources Kafka proxy uForwarder</strong>: Uber Engineering has open-sourced uForwarder, a push-based Kafka consumer proxy designed to handle trillions of messages daily across thousands of microservices. It replaces direct Kafka consumer implementations with a gRPC push interface, centralizes offset management, and simplifies consumer logic. Key features include context-aware routing, an out-of-order commit tracker, and an adaptive auto-rebalancer, aiming to improve efficiency, scalability, and resource management for event-driven architectures. <a href="https://app.daily.dev/posts/NOSp6Xv2e" target="_blank" rel="noopener nofollow">Read more</a></li>

<li><strong>Odin language: empirical simplicity for systems programming</strong>: Odin, a modern C alternative, focuses on empirical simplicity by providing transparent low-level control with ergonomic built-ins like tagged unions, slices, dynamic arrays, and hash maps, avoiding operator overloading and automatic memory management. <a href="https://app.daily.dev/posts/pCh4rJwHE" target="_blank" rel="noopener nofollow">Read more</a></li>
<li><strong>Hexagonal vs onion architecture clarified</strong>: Hexagonal (Ports &amp; Adapters) and Onion Architecture both use Dependency Inversion to protect business logic, with Hexagonal focusing on application boundaries and Onion on internal layering, offering distinct benefits for different project complexities. <a href="https://app.daily.dev/posts/hKCgzAcjg" target="_blank" rel="noopener nofollow">Read more</a></li>
<li><strong>Laravel 13 to require PHP 8.3, adds attributes</strong>: Laravel 13, due Q1 2026, will require PHP 8.3 and introduce first-class PHP 8 Attributes support for configuring Eloquent models, queue jobs, and console commands, alongside a new <code>Cache::touch()</code> method for extending cached item TTLs. <a href="https://app.daily.dev/posts/noeEN07CU" target="_blank" rel="noopener nofollow">Read more</a></li>
<li><strong>Kotlin community shifts from Android-centric</strong>: The Kotlin community is diversifying, with Android developers now making up only 25-30% of the user base, down from 75% in 2017, driven by growing adoption of Kotlin Multiplatform (KMP) and Compose Multiplatform for iOS. <a href="https://app.daily.dev/posts/82WpaCPRf" target="_blank" rel="noopener nofollow">Read more</a></li>
<li><strong>Spring framework embraces virtual threads and AI</strong>: Spring is evolving with the declining relevance of reactive programming due to virtual threads, a focus on Spring Modulith, and the introduction of Embabel, a new JVM agent framework built on Spring AI for multi-step agentic flows. <a href="https://app.daily.dev/posts/mHUF11IV1" target="_blank" rel="noopener nofollow">Read more</a></li>
<li><strong>From Delayed Job to Solid Queue for Rails scaling</strong>: A decade-old Rails app migrated from Delayed Job to Solid Queue, achieving linear scaling for background jobs by leveraging PostgreSQL’s <code>SKIP LOCKED</code> feature to enable parallel processing without contention, using existing Aurora infrastructure. <a href="https://app.daily.dev/posts/f4YyqwFOX" target="_blank" rel="noopener nofollow">Read more</a></li>
<li><strong>New Elixir language server Expert released</strong>: Expert, the new official Elixir language server merging Lexical and Next LS, has reached its first release candidate, offering compiler diagnostics, completions, refactors, and monorepo support, with a focus on stability before new features. <a href="https://app.daily.dev/posts/ItEtgwo7d" target="_blank" rel="noopener nofollow">Read more</a></li>

<h2>Bullshit police</h2>

<li><strong>AI will make you a full-stack PM, just learn to vibe code</strong>: Apparently, AI-powered coding tools like Cursor are enabling Product Managers to become ‘Full Stack PMs’ by prototyping and building working solutions independently. Because, you know, deep technical expertise, architectural understanding, and actual coding skills are just optional extras now. Just ‘vibe code’ your way to a working product, and don’t worry about the unmaintainable, unscalable mess you’re creating. <a href="https://app.daily.dev/feed-by-ids?id=4jFydoamF&amp;id=UgUqrKUDX&amp;id=VadEPVBil&amp;id=WAm3NKS9B&amp;id=WCj2dFu7Q&amp;id=WXyNkLy8T&amp;id=WmoU50hFr&amp;id=XlyWxUnez&amp;id=YSeOsArG1" target="_blank" rel="noopener nofollow">Read more</a></li>
<li><strong>AI will replace all the jobs, so just learn AI</strong>: The tech industry is buzzing with predictions that AI will eliminate 50% of entry-level white-collar jobs in law, finance, medicine, and software engineering within 1-5 years. The solution? Just adopt AI tools and experiment daily, because apparently, that’s all it takes to stay relevant. Never mind that the ‘AI Wake-Up Call’ articles are often clickbait, and the real value still lies in human judgment and critical thinking, not just prompting a chatbot. <a href="https://app.daily.dev/feed-by-ids?id=ae0EA4mxJ&amp;id=au5FtpUOA&amp;id=auLvzXgbU&amp;id=eMP5bzmLl" target="_blank" rel="noopener nofollow">Read more</a></li>
<li><strong>AI-generated code is the future, just ignore the bugs and security flaws</strong>: AI coding tools are supposedly transforming development, but let’s be real: they’re generating bloated, insecure code with high defect rates and security vulnerabilities 45% of the time. While some claim AI can build entire apps with ‘zero manually typed code,’ the reality is it often produces code that’s 158,000x slower than human-written code and fails basic tests. So, sure, let AI churn out millions of lines, but don’t forget you’re still on the hook for reviewing, fixing, and securing that ‘masterpiece.’ <a href="https://app.daily.dev/feed-by-ids?id=ZWpx0eQ4F&amp;id=aAR4DfeEh&amp;id=bDJrJKMJX&amp;id=cbOVi24pM&amp;id=dfEz8EdS5&amp;id=dtY8IcMQN&amp;id=dy6cgx4MB&amp;id=dz3RmQVnk&amp;id=eBdd7j4RZ" target="_blank" rel="noopener nofollow">Read more</a></li>
