Friday Links: Axios hacked, QA rethink, and roulette
03 Apr 2026 #mondaylinksHey there.
Here are 4 stories that caught my eye last week:
#1. Last week, another npm package was hacked. This time, it was Axios’ turn (3min). If you’ve downloaded it recently, patch now.
#2. Not that testing isn’t important, but should we have QA teams? That’s another role AI makes us rethink (11min).
#3. Not a big surprise, but LinkedIn is searching and scraping your browser (3min). Time for better fingerprinting protection.
#4. Last week’s cool tool: twitchroulette I spun the roulette a few times and only found game streams. Maybe you’ll be luckier and find coding streams.
And in case you missed it, I wrote on my blog about the hidden truth AI has revealed (1min) the Excel paradox of coding (2min).
