Oh, why don't you go first, Joanna?

Ben and Joanna aren't just colleagues.

They're also friends who frequently text back and forth.

Claude Code is a coding tool made by the AI company Anthropic.

The tool allows users to create websites, apps, or anything that requires coding just by typing your vision into a chat box.

It's a process known as vibe coding.

Late last year, Cloud Code received a major update.

And it worked so well, it started blowing people's minds in the tech world.

And a few weeks ago, Ben started playing with it and texting Joanna about the stuff he was making.

And he was like, hey, senior tech columnist, look at this website that I made.

Aren't you proud of me?

It looked old and crappy.

Absolutely.

Ben and Joanna have both been spending a lot of time with ClaudeCode.

And they say it's a development that could have big implications for jobs across many different industries.

Welcome to The Journal, our show about money, business, and power.
