Another week, another batch of links that caught my attention, and this one covers a lot of ground. From AI agents on Kubernetes and a security incident that should make every developer pause, to the authentication changes coming in .NET 11 and a sharp argument that slow software is a design problem rather than a language problem. Here's what I found worth sharing.
AI

30 Popular AI Agent Skills Ranked by GitHub Stars - I used many of those skills and just discovered others that look promising.
Programming
PHP2Shell and eMudhra Patched - It happened to PHP developers last week, but it could be any of us. So true, that's our wake-up call

Miscellaneous
