<h2>Must know</h2>
<ul>
<li><strong>AI agents are breaking traditional security models</strong>: AI agents, with their delegated authority and broad permissions, are fundamentally incompatible with existing Identity and Access Management (IAM) systems. This creates significant security risks, as agents can compile wide-ranging permissions without clear ownership or audit trails, leading to potential authorization bypasses. The problem is particularly acute with ‘organizational agents’ shared across teams, as highlighted by Security Boulevard, demanding new security protocols to track relationships between users, agents, and systems. <a href="https://app.daily.dev/posts/nUFRFzE1V" target="_blank" rel="noopener nofollow">Read more</a></li>
<li><strong>Google Cloud opens public datasets via Apache Iceberg</strong>: Google Cloud has made public datasets, including the NYC Taxi dataset, accessible through the Apache Iceberg REST Catalog on BigLake. This allows data engineers and analysts to query large-scale datasets without infrastructure setup, using any compute engine supporting the Iceberg protocol like Spark or BigQuery. The offering, announced by Google Cloud, emphasizes ease of use and interoperability, enabling features like partition pruning and time travel queries. <a href="https://app.daily.dev/posts/tn371FITl" target="_blank" rel="noopener nofollow">Read more</a></li>
<li><strong>VMware vCenter flaw actively exploited</strong>: CISA has confirmed active exploitation of VMware vCenter Server vulnerability CVE-2024-37079, a critical heap overflow flaw with a CVSS score of 9.8. This vulnerability allows remote code execution and can be combined with other exploits to gain root access to ESXi. Broadcom released a patch in June 2024, and federal agencies are mandated to apply it by February 13, 2026, underscoring the severity and widespread risk. <a href="https://app.daily.dev/posts/sI8icXzRd" target="_blank" rel="noopener nofollow">Read more</a></li>

<h2>Bullshit police</h2>
<ul>
<li><strong>AI will make software engineers focus on SRE, because code is easy now</strong>: Two identical articles are here to tell us that AI has made code-writing ‘much easier,’ so now software engineers should just focus on Site Reliability Engineering (SRE). Apparently, ‘building a working demo is straightforward’ thanks to AI, and the real challenge is ‘maintaining reliable, scalable services.’ Because, you know, before AI, software engineers just wrote perfect, bug-free code that never needed operational excellence. This sounds suspiciously like a rebrand of ‘AI will take your job, but here’s a new, less glamorous one you can do instead.’ <a href="https://app.daily.dev/posts/otuC5YedQ" target="_blank" rel="noopener nofollow">Read more</a></li>
<li><strong>Coi language claims to beat React/Vue, because benchmarks are always trustworthy when self-reported</strong>: A new component-based programming language called Coi is here, claiming ‘performance superiority’ over React and Vue by leveraging WASM and a shared memory architecture. Their self-reported benchmarks show canvas rendering at 100 FPS versus Emscripten’s 40 FPS. It’s always reassuring when a new project’s primary evidence for being revolutionary comes solely from its own publicity. I’m sure there’s absolutely no bias there, and we can all just ditch our existing frameworks based on these totally objective numbers. <a href="https://app.daily.dev/posts/iOGOTjzat" target="_blank" rel="noopener nofollow">Read more</a></li>
<li><strong>AI coding tools are great, says developer who now has 90% of code authored by Claude Code</strong>: A developer, previously skeptical, now claims 90% of their code is authored by Claude Code, and they’re here to tell us that debates around LLMs have become ‘tribal and political.’ They advocate for ‘experimentation and empathy’ rather than ‘entrenched positions.’ It’s almost as if someone who’s found a tool that does 90% of their job for them might have a <em>slight</em> bias. While acknowledging the ‘genuine capabilities,’ the underlying message seems to be ‘embrace our AI overlords, or you’re just being tribal.’ <a href="https://app.daily.dev/posts/BCMHZegjN" target="_blank" rel="noopener nofollow">Read more</a></li>
