Doug Belshaw points to this new bit of jargon: 'vibe coding', which "is an AI-assisted approach where you describe your software idea in plain language and the AI writes the code for you." I can dig it. Anyway, D'Arcy Norman offers a good example where he created a sleep monitoring tool by describing what he needs to Claude and iterating back and forth on the result. I feel him on the insomnia thing. There are limits; the AI will build simple tools but can't get too complex yet (for example, it will reliably build an API for one service, but not five). I would imagine these limits will be exceeded in short order and we'll acquire software not by licensing it but by building it ourselves.
