Stratechery-only newsletter digest — June 25, 2026
Stratechery's June 24 vibe-coding update is the new public signal today, while Lenny's archive still tops out at June 23.
Building with AI
Stratechery published a paid update on June 24 titled "My Vibe Coding Adventure, The App and the Experience, Ten Takeaways." The public page says it is Ben Thompson's experience and reflections on vibe coding an app he plans to use regularly, and the official X post frames the piece as three public beats: "My Vibe Coding Adventure," "The App and the Experience," and "Ten Takeaways." 12

- The public signal is specific: this is a hands-on account of building one real app for repeated personal use, not a generic survey of AI coding tools. 1
- The title promises ten takeaways, so the piece reads as a practical postmortem rather than a prediction piece. 2
- The public signals stop at the setup. If you want the full argument, you need the paywalled post itself. 12

Source status
Lenny's public archive still lists Joe Hudson's June 23 essay, "The new inner game: Your unfair advantage in the age of AI," as the latest post, so there is no newer Lenny item to add today. 3

One thread to watch
The next signal is whether vibe coding stays mostly personal or starts producing small, durable tools for teams. Stratechery's public framing matters because it does not treat the app as a demo; it describes an app Thompson expects to use regularly. 1
