<h2>Must know</h2>
<ul>
<li><strong>Ingress-nginx is getting archived, time to migrate</strong>: The ingress-nginx project is being archived in early 2026, meaning no more active maintenance or security updates. If you’re using it, you need to migrate. Your options are Cilium Ingress for a quick swap or Cilium’s Gateway API for more advanced features. Both use Cilium’s eBPF-powered datapath for better performance and observability, according to CNCF. Migration tools are available to help you switch. <a href="https://app.daily.dev/posts/PptBbhnAu" target="_blank" rel="noopener nofollow">Read more</a></li>
<li><strong>Microsoft Office zero-day actively exploited</strong>: Microsoft just dropped an emergency patch for a zero-day vulnerability (CVE-2026-21509) in Office, with a CVSS score of 7.8. This flaw bypasses security features for legacy COM and OLE components, allowing attackers to execute code via malicious Office files. While newer Office versions and Microsoft 365 Apps got immediate updates, Office 2016 and 2019 users are stuck with manual registry workarounds for now. CISA has already flagged this as a Known Exploited Vulnerability, mandating federal agencies patch by mid-February. <a href="https://app.daily.dev/posts/qC937DXHe" target="_blank" rel="noopener nofollow">Read more</a></li>
<li><strong>ChatGPT caught citing AI-generated Grokipedia</strong>: The Guardian found ChatGPT’s GPT-5.2 model citing Grokipedia, an AI-generated encyclopedia by Elon Musk, as a source. This raises serious concerns about recursive AI content amplifying bias and misinformation. OpenAI claims its models filter low-credibility sources, but this incident suggests otherwise, highlighting a lack of transparency in their filtering process. The potential for recursive misinformation is a real problem if AI models keep referencing each other without external fact-checking. <a href="https://app.daily.dev/posts/fWRmbZwbT" target="_blank" rel="noopener nofollow">Read more</a></li>

<li><strong>ESLint v10.0.0-rc.2 is out for testing</strong>: ESLint v10.0.0-rc.2 is available for testing, primarily focusing on bug fixes like a regression in the strict rule’s global mode report range and an esquery dependency update, with a migration guide provided for upgrading. <a href="https://app.daily.dev/posts/EfrDMwvxT" target="_blank" rel="noopener nofollow">Read more</a></li>
<li><strong>New Docker controller for Cloudflare Tunnel automation</strong>: A new Docker controller, ‘docker-cloudflare-tunnel-sync,’ automates Cloudflare Tunnel routes, DNS records, and Access rules using container labels, monitoring Docker events to expose services and remove configurations automatically. <a href="https://app.daily.dev/posts/mXmVkLhBe" target="_blank" rel="noopener nofollow">Read more</a></li>
<li><strong>Vercel CLI adds direct API access</strong>: Vercel CLI version 50.5.1 introduces a new <code>api</code> command, allowing authenticated HTTP requests to Vercel APIs directly from the terminal, supporting both manual users and AI agents with inherited user permissions. <a href="https://app.daily.dev/posts/AvpZcZC0U" target="_blank" rel="noopener nofollow">Read more</a></li>
<li><strong>Rust Foundation releases 2025 annual report and strategic plan</strong>: The Rust Foundation’s 2025 Annual Report and 2026-2028 strategic plan prioritize stable infrastructure, maintainer support, responsible adoption, and community engagement, having raised $5.1 million and invested $2.7 million into the Rust Project in 2025. <a href="https://app.daily.dev/posts/DRpplNBlF" target="_blank" rel="noopener nofollow">Read more</a></li>
<li><strong>WhatsApp adopts Rust for media security overhaul</strong>: WhatsApp replaced 160,000 lines of C++ with 90,000 lines of Rust in its media handling stack, deploying the Kaleidoscope library globally across all platforms to validate media files and detect malicious patterns, improving performance and memory safety. <a href="https://app.daily.dev/posts/2YIPmtHiF" target="_blank" rel="noopener nofollow">Read more</a></li>
<li><strong>New terminal UI tool Overitall for process and log management</strong>: Overitall (oit) is a new terminal UI tool that combines process management with advanced log viewing, offering interactive filtering, trace detection, and VS Code integration, with explicit support for AI assistants like Claude. <a href="https://app.daily.dev/posts/DkhXBDdU9" target="_blank" rel="noopener nofollow">Read more</a></li>
<li><strong>Google Photos expands AI editing to new markets</strong>: Google Photos now offers AI-driven, prompt-based photo editing in India, Australia, and Japan, allowing users to edit images with natural language instructions, processed locally on-device using the Nano Banana AI model, and marked with C2PA Content Credentials. <a href="https://app.daily.dev/posts/QDh2xpUc9" target="_blank" rel="noopener nofollow">Read more</a></li>

<h2>Bullshit police</h2>
<ul>
<li><strong>AI agents are building browsers now, apparently</strong>: Cursor claims its AI agents built a web browser with ‘over 3 million lines of code’ and a ‘custom Rust-based rendering engine’ in just weeks. Developers, however, found the code to be ‘spaghetti,’ unable to compile, and heavily reliant on existing external projects, completely undermining the ‘from scratch’ claim. It seems Cursor’s marketing team is working overtime, while their AI agents are still in kindergarten. <a href="https://app.daily.dev/posts/gcgtwbk5H" target="_blank" rel="noopener nofollow">Read more</a></li>
<li><strong>AI-generated code: functional, but a maintainability nightmare</strong>: Turns out, AI coding agents are great at spitting out code quickly, but not so much at making it good. Experiments show these agents produce non-idiomatic, overly complex code with subtle semantic errors, especially ignoring language-specific conventions like Swift’s optionals. So, while you might get functional output, you’re also getting a hefty dose of technical debt, proving that human oversight is still very much required unless you enjoy debugging AI’s creative interpretations. <a href="https://app.daily.dev/posts/uilUGnhp4" target="_blank" rel="noopener nofollow">Read more</a></li>
<li><strong>AI is making developers ‘80% AI-assisted,’ but don’t forget how to code</strong>: Andrej Karpathy, an AI researcher, claims he’s shifted from 80% manual coding to 80% AI agent-assisted coding, calling it ‘programming in English.’ While he touts productivity gains and AI’s ‘relentless persistence,’ he also warns about skill atrophy and AI agents making incorrect assumptions. So, AI is great for automating drudgery, but apparently, it’s also a master of over-complication and might just make you forget how to actually write code. Net positive, he says, but maybe keep those coding skills sharp. <a href="https://app.daily.dev/posts/vRs04mdPH" target="_blank" rel="noopener nofollow">Read more</a></li>
