By reusing most of the scaffolding from a previously built RBAC Manager app, the CVE tool required only swapping domain-specific logic: a custom Go scanner that pulls image layers, reads OS package databases, and matches against a unified CVE database (GitHub Advisory, CVE List V5, OSV.dev). Scan verdicts are written back onto Kubernetes Deployment Units as annotations, and a Trigger gates any workload with critical CVEs — no admission webhook needed. The React web console reused \~80% of the RBAC Manager codebase, with only the model (\~250 lines), snapshot query clauses, and page components replaced. The post generalizes a 5-step pattern for building internal tools on ConfigHub: define your object, load a fleet snapshot, render views, act through the API, and let policy live in ConfigHub gates. 37 1 2. 2 [](https://daily.dev/posts/stop-letting-ai-think-for-you-start-letting-it-teach-you--2pqp21jue "Stop letting AI think for you. Start letting it teach you.") Article ITNEXT · 14w Stop letting AI think for you. Start letting it teach you. Most developers use AI like a search engine — ask, read, move on — and end up with knowledge that evaporates within days. This piece proposes a four-phase system to fix that: (1) Use AI as a Socratic tutor by asking why things exist, seeking edge cases, and doing mid-session quizzes rather than passive reading. (2) Take notes in your own words using a three-layer structure: one-sentence definition, why it matters, and the gotcha. Never paste AI output directly. (3) Build projects by using AI only for spec design, then coding alone to force genuine struggle and map-building. Follow up with a brutal AI code review after the fact. (4) Fight forgetting through teach-back sessions 24–48 hours later, spaced repetition questions, connecting new knowledge to existing mental models, and a daily one-line learning log. The core argument: AI amplifies deliberate learning, but used passively it creates fluency without depth. The developers who compound fastest are the intentional ones, not the power users. 31 1 3. 3 [](https://daily.dev/posts/vibe-coding-got-the-easy-half-hypa2cz6l "Vibe coding got the easy half") Article ITNEXT · 13w Vibe coding got the easy half Drawing on Fred Brooks's 1986 'No Silver Bullet' essay, this piece argues that AI coding tools have eliminated accidental complexity (syntax, boilerplate, plumbing) but leave essential complexity (design decisions, architectural ownership) entirely to humans. The author introduces 'opinion debt' — distinct from technical debt — as the accumulation of undecided design choices in AI-generated codebases. Unlike technical debt, which was deliberately incurred, opinion debt was never decided at all, making it impossible to refactor away. The piece identifies a clear line: vibe coding is appropriate for prototyping and idea validation, but becomes dangerous once a system runs a real business with real consequences. It also offers a practical framework for reading vibe-coded artifacts as records of intent, and warns that the true cost of rebuilding such systems is not rewriting code but doing the thinking that was skipped the first time. 11 4 [See all ITNEXT archives](/sources/itnext/best-of) ```json {"@context":"https://schema.org","@graph":[{"@type":"Organization","@id":"https://daily.dev/#organization","name":"daily.dev","url":"https://daily.dev","logo":{"@type":"ImageObject","url":"https://daily.dev/apple-touch-icon.png","width":180,"height":180},"sameAs":["https://twitter.com/dailydotdev","https://github.com/dailydotdev","https://www.linkedin.com/company/daily-dev-ltd"]},{"@type":"WebSite","@id":"https://daily.dev/#website","url":"https://daily.dev","name":"daily.dev","publisher":{"@id":"https://daily.dev/#organization"},"potentialAction":{"@type":"SearchAction","target":{"@type":"EntryPoint","urlTemplate":"https://daily.dev/search?q={search_term_string}"},"query-input":"required name=search_term_string"}}]} {"@context":"https://schema.org","@graph":[{"@type":"CollectionPage","@id":"https://daily.dev/sources/itnext/best-of/2026/06#page","url":"https://daily.dev/sources/itnext/best-of/2026/06","name":"Best ITNEXT Posts — June 2026","description":"The most upvoted ITNEXT posts from June 2026, curated by the daily.dev community.","isPartOf":{"@type":"WebSite","url":"https://daily.dev"}},{"@type":"ItemList","@id":"https://daily.dev/sources/itnext/best-of/2026/06#items","numberOfItems":3,"itemListElement":[{"@type":"ListItem","position":1,"url":"https://daily.dev/posts/i-need-a-cve-tool-it-took-me-much-less-effort-to-build-correctly-quts2djqw","name":"I need a CVE tool, it took me much less effort to build correctly"},{"@type":"ListItem","position":2,"url":"https://daily.dev/posts/stop-letting-ai-think-for-you-start-letting-it-teach-you--2pqp21jue","name":"Stop letting AI think for you.
