Great roundup as always! I was immediately drawn to the 'Vibe Coding Boom Hits a Reality Check.' It makes total sense that after the initial hype and massive ARR spikes, the focus is rapidly pivoting to retention and monetization strategies. It feels like the market is settling in for the long haul with AI coding tools, demanding real utility over just novel integration. Curious to see which startups successfully transition from 'cool demo' to indispensable workflow—the ones that master that transition will likely survive this recalibration. Thanks for surfacing that point! 💡
