<h2>Must know</h2>
<ul>
<li><strong>AI coding tools are changing the game, but not how you think</strong>: AI coding tools like Copilot and Claude Code are now widely used, boosting productivity for some developers, but they’re not replacing humans. According to Import AI, autonomous AI agents can research and generate reports with minimal oversight, yet experiments with tools like Codex and GPT-5 show they produce lower-quality code for complex tasks, requiring significant human correction. The key takeaway from various sources is that AI amplifies existing processes; success depends on strong engineering practices and human oversight, not just raw AI capability. <a href="https://app.daily.dev/feed-by-ids?id=3DI7vnha4&amp;id=ATZPMmQn8&amp;id=DdiXGTqPN&amp;id=L2hSWhbgY&amp;id=LJqUceZbE&amp;id=Y8gY63ibF&amp;id=aGFVTrinz&amp;id=aKVj0i6Bm&amp;id=j91dGf3TP&amp;id=tJZLXej6S" target="_blank" rel="noopener nofollow">Read more</a></li>
<li><strong>GitLab 18.8 rolls out AI-orchestrated DevOps</strong>: GitLab 18.8 is out, bringing its Duo Agent Platform to general availability. This means AI agents can now orchestrate your software development lifecycle, with a Planner Agent managing work items and a Security Analyst Agent triaging vulnerabilities using natural language. GitLab says these agents can even automatically dismiss irrelevant security issues, all managed through a new Central AI Catalog. It’s all about AI-driven automation for security and planning within the DevOps pipeline, straight from GitLab’s official announcement. <a href="https://app.daily.dev/posts/R9WyVAVPv" target="_blank" rel="noopener nofollow">Read more</a></li>
<li><strong>AMD CPUs hit with StackWarp vulnerability</strong>: A new hardware vulnerability, StackWarp (CVE-2025-29943), has been found in AMD Zen 1-5 CPUs, including EPYC 7003, 8004, 9004, and 9005 series. This flaw allows privileged attackers to manipulate the CPU stack engine and hijack control flow in SEV-SNP-protected confidential virtual machines, bypassing what was thought to be enhanced VM security. AMD has released microcode updates, with more firmware patches coming in April 2026. Disabling hyperthreading on critical systems is advised as a temporary fix. <a href="https://app.daily.dev/posts/9DURDnZX3" target="_blank" rel="noopener nofollow">Read more</a></li>

<h2>Good to know</h2>
<ul>
<li><strong>Microsoft open-sources XAML Studio</strong>: Microsoft has open-sourced XAML Studio, a lightweight prototyping tool for WinUI and UWP projects, under the .NET Foundation, aiming for community contributions and a redesigned UI in version 2.0. <a href="https://app.daily.dev/posts/hUJrXK08w" target="_blank" rel="noopener nofollow">Read more</a></li>
<li><strong>jQuery 4.0.0 released after a decade</strong>: jQuery 4.0.0 is out, marking its 20th anniversary with a focus on removing deprecated features, dropping support for older browsers like IE10, and modernizing its codebase to ES modules, all while reducing library size. <a href="https://app.daily.dev/feed-by-ids?id=5SOCKxGlX&amp;id=dThF1vPz2" target="_blank" rel="noopener nofollow">Read more</a></li>
<li><strong>Malicious Chrome extensions steal enterprise session tokens</strong>: Five Chrome extensions, disguised as productivity tools, were caught stealing authentication session tokens from enterprise HR and ERP platforms like Workday and NetSuite, bypassing MFA and allowing full account takeover. <a href="https://app.daily.dev/posts/3ImoRkfEG" target="_blank" rel="noopener nofollow">Read more</a></li>
<li><strong>Wine 11.0 stable brings major upgrades</strong>: Wine 11.0 stable has been released with over 6,300 changes, including NTSYNC kernel module support for better performance, a completed WoW64 architecture, and upgraded graphics with Vulkan 1.4.335 support. <a href="https://app.daily.dev/posts/5LDn1X8et" target="_blank" rel="noopener nofollow">Read more</a></li>
<li><strong>Intel updates LLM-Scaler-Omni for Arc Graphics</strong>: Intel released an update to LLM-Scaler-Omni, enhancing support for ComfyUI and SGLang on Intel Arc Graphics, specifically for image, voice, and video generation in both Omni Studio and Omni Serving modes. <a href="https://app.daily.dev/posts/XBX3pzO5M" target="_blank" rel="noopener nofollow">Read more</a></li>
<li><strong>Steam clarifies AI disclosure rules for games</strong>: Steam updated its AI disclosure policy, now only requiring developers to disclose player-facing AI-generated content (artwork, audio, narrative) and exempting AI used for internal development efficiency. <a href="https://app.daily.dev/posts/C2CcXjt7M" target="_blank" rel="noopener nofollow">Read more</a></li>
<li><strong>Windows 11 23H2 emergency patch for shutdown and RDP bugs</strong>: Microsoft issued an emergency update (KB5077797) for Windows 11 23H2 to fix critical bugs preventing proper shutdown/restart and causing persistent credential prompts for Remote Desktop users. <a href="https://app.daily.dev/posts/u2UYa6XNM" target="_blank" rel="noopener nofollow">Read more</a></li>

<h2>Bullshit police</h2>
<ul>
<li><strong>Sequoia Capital’s AI investment strategy: playing both sides?</strong>: Sequoia Capital is reportedly investing in Anthropic’s $25 billion funding round, despite already holding stakes in direct competitors OpenAI and xAI. This move, as reported by the FT, conveniently ignores established VC norms against backing rival companies, a standard Sequoia itself upheld in 2020. Apparently, when it comes to the AI gold rush, old rules about conflicts of interest are just quaint suggestions, especially when there’s a $350 billion valuation on the table. <a href="https://app.daily.dev/posts/yuiHTajaU" target="_blank" rel="noopener nofollow">Read more</a></li>
<li><strong>NVIDIA allegedly sought pirated books for AI training</strong>: According to an amended authors’ lawsuit, NVIDIA executives allegedly contacted Anna’s Archive, a well-known pirate library, to get millions of copyrighted books for AI model training. The lawsuit claims NVIDIA was explicitly warned about the illegal nature of the content but proceeded anyway, also using other notorious piracy sites like LibGen and Sci-Hub. It seems some companies are so eager to train their AI, they’re willing to sail the high seas of copyright infringement, consequences be damned. <a href="https://app.daily.dev/posts/2IcgLruSE" target="_blank" rel="noopener nofollow">Read more</a></li>
<li><strong>AI agent psychosis: a new buzzword for old problems?</strong>: Changelog News is sounding the alarm about ‘AI agent psychosis,’ a term they’ve coined to describe erratic AI behavior in production, supposedly eroding developer trust. While <a href="http://Monday.com" target="_blank" rel="noopener nofollow">Monday.com</a> engineers are actually solving real-world hallucination issues with server-side pre-computation and human-in-the-loop approvals, Changelog seems content to invent dramatic new terminology. It’s almost as if some outlets prefer conceptual fear-mongering over reporting on concrete engineering solutions to the very problems they’re hyping. <a href="https://app.daily.dev/feed-by-ids?id=AJzG7x8FZ&amp;id=AS53pzdrZ" target="_blank" rel="noopener nofollow">Read more</a></li>
