Okay they can keep the money. But now I want to turn off premium for the account I was using when I didn't have access to my real account, and can't find the commands to do that. Asked ChatGPT and it either hallucinated or X removed the command. Feels a bit like the Soup Nazi on Seinfeld, one of the funniest bits they did.","guid":"http://scripting.com/2026/05/13.html#a142427","pubDate":"Wed, 13 May 2026 14:24:27 GMT","whenReceived":"Wed, 13 May 2026 14:28:17 GMT","whenUpdated":"Wed, 13 May 2026 14:28:17 GMT","metadata":{},"feedTitle":"Scripting News","feedLink":"http://scripting.com/","feedDescription":"Dave Winer, OG blogger, podcaster, developed first apps in many categories.

I reached a point in my Claude work where now I can do vibe coding, in a world that I used to just be a programmer in. This means if I want to do a heavy lift, I can tell Claude what I want and it can do really big corner turns, which is something I am (as a human) terrible at, and thus resist. Today I redesigned the basic user interface of the app, and didn't read any code, I was just giving orders, and it was doing what I asked, even if every little thing it did would have been a full day's work. It's remarkable how it can do very complex things in a few seconds.

\n

And the web framework i'm working on can do almost all the things I want to do for now, but I want to suck everything into it, and turn the whole thing into a vibe coding amusement park. So many projects I want to do, and so many I want to do with you.
