Supabase, founded in 2020, has become essential for "vibe coding" projects with its managed PostgreSQL database. In 2025, 25% of Y Combinator startups use AI to generate 95% of their code. By 2027, it is expected that 40% of code in production will be generated by AI.

Apple revealed critical updates on April 16, 2025, for iOS, iPadOS, macOS, and visionOS, addressing two zero-day vulnerabilities (CVE-2025-24200 and CVE-2025-24201) used in sophisticated attacks against specific targets. The first, CVE-2025-24200, allowed attackers to bypass USB Restricted Mode with physical access to the device, facilitating data extraction. The second, CVE-2025-24201, exploited WebKit for remote code execution. The attacks targeted users of older iOS versions, suggesting coordination by actors with advanced technical resources. Apple recommends immediate updates, especially for vulnerable users.

Waymo and Uber launch the "Waymo on Uber" robotaxi service in Atlanta in the summer of 2025, following success in Austin. Partners offer rides in autonomous Jaguar I-PACE vehicles at the same cost as traditional options, with Waymo coordinating the technology and Uber handling logistics. Atlanta is chosen for its emerging tech status, presenting challenges such as complex roads. Despite safety concerns, Waymo highlights the effectiveness of its system. This collaboration between former rivals enhances a safer and more sustainable transition to autonomous urban mobility. The official launch will take place in June 2025.

Linus Torvalds, creator of Linux, expressed discontent with the hdrtest component in the pre-release of Linux 6.15. The hdrtest, designed to check kernel code headers, automatically activates the allmodconfig setting, used for comprehensive testing. According to Torvalds, this makes the build time-consuming and produces unwanted files. He harshly criticized the intrusive execution of hdrtest and marked it as "BROKEN," disabling it until fixes are made. His decision may expedite the overhaul or removal of hdrtest, reflecting the ongoing pursuit of optimizations in Linux. Although incisive, Torvalds aims to keep Linux efficient, and it is up to those responsible for hdrtest to correct the issues and ensure the desired functionality without compromising the developers' build experience.
