<li><strong>AI agents are changing how we build software</strong>: The rise of AI agentic workflows, like OpenClaw and GitHub Agentic Workflows, is shifting developers from direct coding to managing autonomous agents that handle project execution. This means developers are becoming orchestrators, defining tasks and letting AI handle the grunt work. However, a survey of 1,149 engineers reveals 96% don’t trust AI-generated code, yet only 48% bother to verify it, creating a massive quality and security gap. This tension between AI’s promise and its current reliability is a critical challenge for engineering excellence. <a href="https://app.daily.dev/feed-by-ids?id=4JIVYKasE&amp;id=6XiGDuvrg&amp;id=QxTS3kJG9&amp;id=cFuqqwpeZ&amp;id=wEVz8B5rw" target="_blank" rel="noopener nofollow">Read more</a></li>
<li><strong>Intel archives open-source projects and sunsets SDSi</strong>: Intel has archived about two dozen open-source projects on GitHub and quietly discontinued its “On Demand” Software Defined Silicon (SDSi) program. SDSi, which allowed software-activated hardware features on Xeon processors, was controversial. These moves signal a significant shift in Intel’s open-source strategy and product direction, potentially impacting developers relying on these projects or features. <a href="https://app.daily.dev/feed-by-ids?id=9KgokQznt&amp;id=LPtFvSMC9" target="_blank" rel="noopener nofollow">Read more</a></li>
<li><strong>Global tech landscape shifts away from US platforms</strong>: Countries are increasingly moving away from US tech platforms due to concerns over censorship, data security, and political influence. France banned American video tools for officials, and the International Criminal Court switched from Microsoft to Proton Mail. This trend highlights a growing distrust in centralized tech and a push towards local or more privacy-focused alternatives, impacting global software adoption and data sovereignty. <a href="https://app.daily.dev/feed-by-ids?id=MSeCcaYtN&amp;id=VZx92Fbib&amp;id=nTkvD3DKT" target="_blank" rel="noopener nofollow">Read more</a></li>

<li><strong>Vite needs a new bundler</strong>: Evan You, the creator of Vue.js and Vite, explained that Vite’s reliance on both esbuild for dev and Rollup for production creates a dilemma, necessitating a new bundler solution for optimal performance and chunk splitting. <a href="https://app.daily.dev/posts/7qQp3YbEQ" target="_blank" rel="noopener nofollow">Read more</a></li>
<li><strong>Bun v1.3.9 improves script execution and performance</strong>: Bun v1.3.9 introduces parallel and sequential script execution flags, enhances testing with <code>Symbol.dispose</code> for mock cleanup, and boosts performance with SIMD-accelerated RegExp and faster string operations. <a href="https://app.daily.dev/posts/S5ryyJJXD" target="_blank" rel="noopener nofollow">Read more</a></li>
<li><strong>Drizzle and Prisma ORMs evolve for TypeScript</strong>: Drizzle and Prisma remain top TypeScript ORMs, with Prisma 7’s rewrite significantly reducing bundle size and improving query latency, while Drizzle maintains its minimal footprint and direct SQL approach, catering to different developer preferences. <a href="https://app.daily.dev/posts/AivQiKqkV" target="_blank" rel="noopener nofollow">Read more</a></li>
<li><strong>Linux kernel 7.0 is coming</strong>: Linus Torvalds announced that the next Linux kernel version will be 7.0, with the merge window opening soon and a stable release expected in mid-April, to be included in Ubuntu 26.04 LTS. <a href="https://app.daily.dev/posts/kfdS62Kgt" target="_blank" rel="noopener nofollow">Read more</a></li>
<li><strong>LocalGPT offers a private, Rust-based AI assistant</strong>: LocalGPT is a lightweight, Rust-based AI assistant that runs entirely on your machine, offering a ~27MB single binary, persistent markdown memory, and support for multiple LLM providers, including OpenClaw format. <a href="https://app.daily.dev/posts/WndaKmd4O" target="_blank" rel="noopener nofollow">Read more</a></li>
<li><strong>Google’s micro frontends strategy</strong>: Google’s Angular team discussed their micro frontend approach, emphasizing complete isolation and Protocol Buffers for inter-service communication, while also announcing TypeScript 6.0 will be the last version before a Go rewrite. <a href="https://app.daily.dev/posts/OBdZWzGyV" target="_blank" rel="noopener nofollow">Read more</a></li>
<li><strong>New CLI tool for AI image context</strong>: <code>imgstat</code> is a new CLI tool that embeds image dimensions into filenames (e.g., <code>photo-1920x1080.jpg</code>), providing visual context for LLMs and AI coding assistants without direct file processing. <a href="https://app.daily.dev/feed-by-ids?id=20UYHtcg9&amp;id=iTQWufPQv" target="_blank" rel="noopener nofollow">Read more</a></li>

<h2>Bullshit police</h2>

<li><strong>AI productivity claims are still just claims</strong>: The Software House is touting a 30-40% productivity increase for 220+ engineers using their open-source AI development framework, ‘copilot-collections.’ This framework standardizes GitHub Copilot usage and includes 6 specialized AI agents. While impressive, these are self-reported numbers from the framework’s creator, so maybe take that ‘productivity’ boost with a grain of salt until someone else verifies it. <a href="https://app.daily.dev/feed-by-ids?id=9kAZfg0YQ&amp;id=tZA0R168h" target="_blank" rel="noopener nofollow">Read more</a></li>
<li><strong>AI agents are a security nightmare, who knew?</strong>: Apparently, AI coding assistants and their ‘skills’ marketplaces are creating “serious security vulnerabilities.” Researchers found hallucinated npm packages, malicious commands in markdown, and automated skill installations. It’s almost like giving an AI free rein to execute arbitrary code based on untrusted prompts is a bad idea. But hey, at least we’re moving fast and breaking things, right? <a href="https://app.daily.dev/posts/BFb4A0CqB" target="_blank" rel="noopener nofollow">Read more</a></li>
<li><strong>AI will make you depressed, but don’t worry about it</strong>: One article suggests AI code generation leads to “depression and disconnection” for developers, who prefer manual coding. Another highlights “AI fatigue” from constant context-switching and review burdens. So, AI promises to make us 10x more productive, but also miserable and untrusting of our own work. Sounds like a great deal for everyone involved. <a href="https://app.daily.dev/feed-by-ids?id=muptiJAwX&amp;id=osFUQBBRw" target="_blank" rel="noopener nofollow">Read more</a></li>
