It's coding with your vibes, right?

You don't know how to code.

You type it into your chat bot, describe the thing you want, and create the thing.

His first one was he was bragging about his new personal website that he made with Claude Code.

And I think my text back was like, that's really awesome.

Welcome to 1995, Ben.

Like, that's super cool.

No, actually, it looks really good.

Everyone should go visit bzcohen.com.

Is that right?

Well, I think since we've had the chat GPT moment, we've seen all of this progression in models.

And so I think all these big leaps we've had with AI products, whether it be image generators or video generators, these have all been like small unlocks to things that computers can do for us, right?

We're like, wow, holy crap, it made that image.

And it looks so much better than the image it made last year, right?

And I think that is what this Claude Code moment was for coding and vibe coding was, wow, this is getting so good that people that are in the tech world are using this fully to write their code.

Yeah, it definitely is a game changer and I'm loving it so far.

And so we were kind of sending screenshots back and forth, and we were kind of like, we should probably just do a story on this together.

And then as I looked at our chat, I was like, we should just make this the story.
