I mean, don't get me wrong.

It's gotta be great ice cream.

I'd say Mamdani and Bernie.

And I think that people in general...

want to care about other people.

People in general don't wanna kill other people.

I think what is absurd is that our leaders are saying that we can provide security for you by threatening to kill millions and millions of people and having lots and lots of wars, and that's gonna create security.

It's bullshit.

there's enough money to go around.

I mean, if we just used our money to meet people's basic needs,

Everybody would be taken care of it's it's amazing and and that would be true security instead of this idea that well, we need to take half of our Expendable income and spend it on war and threatening to kill literally millions of people and That's gonna give you true security crazy

Well, I often send Joanna annoying text messages about technology, and I started bothering her with texts about Claude Code, asking if she had played around with it and also asking, like, when are you going to write about it?

It makes vibe coding even simpler for people who don't know anything about code, but also do know everything about code.

I mean, that's the amazing thing about this product is that

People who have spent their lives as software developers and have risen to the top of their field as coders are now increasingly using cloud code for their code, in addition to people who don't know a lick of code like Joanna and me.

Okay, so the origin story of Cloud Code goes back to September 2024, like the ancient days of AI, like 18 months ago, with Boris Cherny, who is the father of Cloud Code.

He began tinkering with this coding tool as a side project one day not long after he started at Anthropic.

What he found interesting was that whenever he looked at the screens of like data scientists within Anthropic, so not like software developers or coders, they were using cloud code, even when it wasn't actually all that easy to use, like a primitive, clunky version of cloud code.
