<h2>Must know</h2>
<ul>
<li><strong>AWS doubles down on cloud and AI infrastructure</strong>: AWS reported its strongest quarterly growth in over three years, with $35.6 billion in Q4 2025 revenue, a 24% year-over-year increase. The company plans to invest $200 billion in 2026 to double its data center capacity by the end of 2027, primarily for AI infrastructure. This massive investment signals a continued push into cloud and AI, driven by both traditional cloud migration and increasing AI workloads, as reported by sources like CRN. <a href="https://app.daily.dev/posts/1BAlXIloL" target="_blank" rel="noopener nofollow">Read more</a></li>
<li><strong>Microsoft open-sources Rust-based sandboxing OS</strong>: Microsoft open-sourced LiteBox, an experimental Rust-based library OS designed for application sandboxing. It aims to provide stronger isolation than containers without the overhead of full VMs, utilizing a minimal attack surface and supporting confidential computing with AMD SEV-SNP. This move by Microsoft, announced directly by them, offers a new approach to secure application environments, particularly relevant for cloud-native and confidential computing scenarios. <a href="https://app.daily.dev/posts/jIlb9nmzq" target="_blank" rel="noopener nofollow">Read more</a></li>
<li><strong>Snowflake embraces open data standards with pg_lake</strong>: Snowflake integrated <code>pg_lake</code>, an open-source PostgreSQL extension, into its Snowflake Postgres service. This allows users to directly work with data lakehouses and Apache Iceberg tables via SQL, with automatic versioning, data type conversions, and caching. Snowflake also expanded its Horizon Catalog for Iceberg table governance, emphasizing interoperability and open standards to unify analytical and transactional workloads and prevent vendor lock-in. <a href="https://app.daily.dev/posts/kBWxo6cQz" target="_blank" rel="noopener nofollow">Read more</a></li>

<h2>Good to know</h2>
<ul>
<li><strong>Svelte offers alternative to React server components</strong>: Svelte’s creator, Rich Harris, highlighted Svelte’s async-first reactivity and fine-grained approach as an alternative to React Server Components, allowing direct data dependencies with <code>await</code> and RPC-style communication. <a href="https://app.daily.dev/feed-by-ids?id=Xqvf8335M&amp;id=s3aE7CClS" target="_blank" rel="noopener nofollow">Read more</a></li>
<li><strong>MUI launches Base UI 1.0 for accessible React components</strong>: MUI released Base UI 1.0, an unstyled React component library with 35 accessible components, offering full styling control while maintaining WCAG compliance for custom design systems. <a href="https://app.daily.dev/posts/lFpG64iAY" target="_blank" rel="noopener nofollow">Read more</a></li>
<li><strong>GitHub improves pull request review experience</strong>: GitHub updated its pull request “Files changed” experience, improving performance by up to 67% for large PRs, reducing memory usage, and adding CODEOWNERS validation. <a href="https://app.daily.dev/posts/XX00GiT1G" target="_blank" rel="noopener nofollow">Read more</a></li>
<li><strong>State of JavaScript 2025 survey results released</strong>: The State of JavaScript 2025 survey results are out, showing Astro is 39% more “loved” than Next.js, and new AI models like GPT-5.3 Codex and Claude Opus 4.6 are impacting development. <a href="https://app.daily.dev/feed-by-ids?id=lJAPeqJsk&amp;id=8HMA0hoKL" target="_blank" rel="noopener nofollow">Read more</a></li>
<li><strong>Appwrite launches screenshots API</strong>: Appwrite launched a Screenshots API that generates pixel-perfect webpage screenshots on demand, eliminating the need for maintaining headless browser infrastructure like Puppeteer or Playwright. <a href="https://app.daily.dev/posts/UdJLVd6BA" target="_blank" rel="noopener nofollow">Read more</a></li>
<li><strong>NVIDIA unveils NVFP4 for faster AI performance</strong>: NVIDIA introduced NVFP4, a 4-bit floating-point precision format for AI training and inference, claiming 3x faster performance than FP8 on Blackwell Ultra GPUs while maintaining accuracy. <a href="https://app.daily.dev/posts/2zfw3Y2wB" target="_blank" rel="noopener nofollow">Read more</a></li>
<li><strong>Curl project halts bug bounty due to AI spam</strong>: The Curl project discontinued its HackerOne bug bounty program due to an overwhelming influx of low-quality, AI-generated false vulnerability reports, wasting maintainers’ time. <a href="https://app.daily.dev/posts/HjXt5zm3t" target="_blank" rel="noopener nofollow">Read more</a></li>

<h2>Bullshit police</h2>
<ul>
<li><strong>AI kills Tailwind CSS engineering jobs</strong>: Apparently, AI code generation tools are so good that developers don’t need to visit documentation sites anymore. This led Tailwind CSS, a project at “peak popularity,” to lay off 75% of its engineering team because their monetization model relied on documentation traffic. Who knew AI would kill the docs? Maybe they should have charged for the AI-generated code instead of the docs nobody reads. <a href="https://app.daily.dev/posts/uR7Q2jMhV" target="_blank" rel="noopener nofollow">Read more</a></li>
<li><strong>Postman becomes the everything app</strong>: Postman, the API client, is now an “everything app” with AI agent builders, managed cloud servers, and internal terminals. Because what developers really need is more feature creep, vendor lock-in, and performance issues from a tool that used to just test APIs. Just use <code>curl</code> and <code>jq</code>, folks, unless you enjoy paying for a bloated platform that will inevitably change its pricing and terms. <a href="https://app.daily.dev/posts/O8Zfhee9v" target="_blank" rel="noopener nofollow">Read more</a></li>
<li><strong>AI makes junior developers extinct</strong>: An opinion piece claims AI is making the junior developer “extinct” by automating entry-level coding tasks, creating a “dangerous gap” in the career pipeline. Apparently, the “grunt work” of writing unit tests and debugging legacy code was crucial for learning. So, now we’ll have senior engineers who can use AI as a multiplier, and AI-dependent developers who can’t debug. Sounds like a solid plan for the future of software engineering. <a href="https://app.daily.dev/posts/MGWWK0MWO" target="_blank" rel="noopener nofollow">Read more</a></li>
