I’m a Normie. Can Normies Really Vibe Code?

Key points

• What my mom lacks in healthy legs, she makes up for in a Claude Pro subscription.
• Having needled her repeatedly over the past couple years about AI’s environmental, political, and economic implications, I brushed all that aside on a recent Sunday and drove to her house.
• After a little tibia talk, I opened her computer and began emitting vibes.
• I’d like to create a communally shared app that gathers and shares information related to how much time and energy we devote to fighting burdensome administrative tasks, bureaucratic sludge, Kafka-esque unsubscribe mazes, byzantine insurance portals, wrongful charges, denied claims, confusing membership plans, and the like.
• With as much clarity and detail as I could muster, I proceeded to describe a dashboard that would record the scale and scope of our collective sludge.
