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.

We should vibe code this conversation about vibe coding and see if we can make the website an interactive column and put it on the wallstreetjournal.com.

I just put in this prompt to Claude Cote.

I'll read you part.

He said, I'm writing an article for The Wall Street Journal with my colleague Ben Cohen.

The idea is that Ben and I go back and forth in the story to debate the merits of vibe coding.

The whole story is done with little chats back and forth, looking like iMessage chats with our photos.

Please design a webpage for this article.

It did that.

It designed a Wall Street Journal page, what it thought it should look like.

It took some liberties with our logo and everything.

But everything that sort of came beyond the top header was honestly 50% of the way there of what we actually published.

So when we sent this to some of our in-house folks, Brian Whitten, who's one of our computational journalists, Audrey Valbuena, one of our designers, they had some notes.

I have built many of these types of projects here over my years at The Wall Street Journal, working with our development team, working with our great graphics and design team.
