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.
\nAnd 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.

Its value is a URL, by default, and has an optional isPermaLink attribute, a boolean, to indicate if it's not a permalink. I will also add support for that in the FeedLand database, and flowing out through the sockets interface. Actually that's pretty close to a full spec, at least in rss.land where we take simplicity seriously. ;-)","guid":"http://scripting.com/2026/05/15.html#a160244","pubDate":"Fri, 15 May 2026 16:02:44 GMT","whenReceived":"Fri, 15 May 2026 16:05:03 GMT","whenUpdated":"Fri, 15 May 2026 16:05:03 GMT","metadata":{},"feedTitle":"Scripting News","feedLink":"http://scripting.com/","feedDescription":"Dave Winer, OG blogger, podcaster, developed first apps in many categories.

\nbut then i realized claude has all the code, so i could just tell it my problem.
\ncan you find it, i asked, realizing i had not given it info on what the problem is.
\nthere's a very weird mistake in the code i wrote just now, and there was a lot of it, i said to claude.
\ncan you find the problem.
\nhad no idea what to expect.
\nno more than 3 seconds it said I got it!
\nit was a typo. where i meant to type x i had typed prefs.
\njuggling a lot of bits in my head, my brain skipped, i didn't notice.
\ni would have found it quickly in my next session. but now i can think of anything but that problem until then.
\nsometimes claude can be totally frustrating, but other times the power makes such a huge difference.
