“Before performing the study, the #developers in question expected the #AI tools would lead to a 24% reduction in the time needed for their assigned tasks. Even after completing those tasks, the developers believed that the AI tools had made them 20% faster, on average. In reality, though, the AI-aided tasks ended up being completed 19% slower than those completed without AI tools. […] Overall, the developers in the study accepted less than 44% of the code generated by AI without modification. A majority of the developers reported needing to make changes to the code generated by their AI companion, and a total of 9% of the total task time in the ‘AI-assisted’ portion of the study was taken up by this kind of review.”

Ars Technica · Study finds AI tools made open source software developers 19 percent slowerBy Kyle Orland

Hey #FediHire , meet @Dominicd3213

He's an embedded systems and #fullstack #developer who loves making machines move and websites work. By day, he wires up #Robots with ROS 2, #arduino and LIDAR; by night, he wrangles #react #TypeScript and #MongoDB into sleek, responsive interfaces. Built #AI chat tools, and co-founded a trading platform.

He lives where code meets circuits, and believes great tech should be powerful and weird.

Anyone need a bright young guy like this?

It is still pretty insane we need a giant mega corp like #Epic Games to finally slash down #Apple with their predatory percentages on each and every transaction

I understand it costs a lot of money to host all the apps and maintain the store but uh.. we developers already pay Apple 100 euro per years to have access to their #developers part alone

Epic isn't the best company but so far they did cut down Apple with restrictions and they do give out a "free" game engine (free earn to 1mil)

Furthermore I'd also say that #developers in general do not consider it their responsibility to take care of #backups and instead consider this a responsibility of the #sysadmin / end-user.

Therefore (especially they wouldn't have to do anything for it on literally all other platforms) at least all "non native android developers" will not even think about this possibility at all (therefore that framework/template default goes unnoticed and unchanged).

We do not provide evidence that:

- #AI systems do not currently speed up many or most #softwareDevelopers

- AI systems do not speed up individuals or groups in domains other than #softwareDevelopment

- AI systems in the near future will not speed up #developers

- There are not ways of using existing AI systems more effectively

The Solidity Language open-source package was used in a $500,000 crypto heist

A malicious extension for the Solidity programming language in the Cursor AI IDE led to a $500,000 cryptocurrency theft. The fake extension, downloaded 54,000 times, appeared higher in search results than the legitimate one due to ranking algorithm factors. It installed malware that downloaded PowerShell scripts, installed remote management software, and deployed data-stealing payloads. The attackers obtained wallet passphrases and stole cryptocurrency. Similar malicious packages were found targeting blockchain developers. The incident highlights the ongoing threat of malicious open-source packages in the crypto industry and the need for caution when downloading tools from package repositories.

> When #developers are allowed to use #AI tools, they take 19% longer to complete issues—a significant slowdown that goes against #developer beliefs and expert forecasts. This gap between perception and reality is striking: developers expected AI to speed them up by 24%, and even after experiencing the slowdown, they still believed AI had sped them up by 20%.

macOS.ZuRu Resurfaces | Modified Khepri C2 Hides Inside Doctored Termius App

A new variant of macOS.ZuRu malware has been discovered, targeting users through a trojanized version of the Termius app. This backdoor, initially noted in 2021, now uses a modified Khepri C2 framework for post-infection operations. The malware is delivered via a .dmg disk image containing a hacked version of Termius.app. It adds two executables to the embedded Termius Helper.app and uses a new method to trojanize legitimate applications. The malware installs persistence via a LaunchDaemon and includes an md5 updater mechanism. The payload obtained from the C2 is a modified Khepri beacon with capabilities for file transfer, system reconnaissance, and command execution. The threat actor continues to target developers and IT professionals, adapting their techniques to evade detection.

I was looking into YouTube’s monetization policies, and here’s what creators should avoid to stay compliant after the July 15, 2025 update:

🚫 Auto-generated/templated videos with minimal variation
🚫 Reposting/duplicating content with little editing
🚫 Publishing near-identical videos in bulk

YouTube’s policy update isn’t the end of YouTubers, it’s a push for higher-quality, more authentic content.
