Vibe Coding Could Change Everything

Do you guys wanna start out by introducing yourselves? Oh, why don't you go first, Joanna? I am Joanna Stern. I am the senior personal technology columnist at The Wall Street Journal. I am Ben Cohen. I am the science of success columnist for The Wall Street Journal. Ben and Joanna aren't just colleagues. They're also friends who frequently text back and forth. Well, I often send Joanna annoying text messages about technology, and I started bothering her with texts about Cloud Code, asking if she had played around with it, and also asking, like, when are you going to write about it? Cloud 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. It's coding with your vibes. Right? You you don't know how to code. You type it into your chatbot, describe the thing you want, and create the thing. 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. His first one was he was bragging about his new personal website that he made with Claude Code. And he was like, Hey, senior tech columnist. Look at this website that I made. Aren't you proud of me? And I I think my text back was like, That's really awesome. Welcome to 1995, Ben. Like, that's that's super cool. It looked old and crappy. No, actually, it looked it looks really good. Everyone should go visit bzcohen.com. Is that right? Absolutely. Ben and Joanna have both been spending a lot of time with Claude Code. And they say it's a development that could have big implications for jobs across many different industries. 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 Claude Code for their code, in addition to people who don't know a lick of code like Joanna and me.
