<p style="margin: 0 0 1.5em 0; line-height: 1.6em; color: #15212A;"><em>This is a column about AI focused on Claude Code. My boyfriend works at Anthropic, which makes Claude. I decided to write this post after seeing a surge of enthusiasm for Claude on social media over the break and becoming curious about how it may have improved since I last tried it a year ago. See </em><a href="https://www.platformer.news/r/a2dc2ad4?m=51418983-c335-42dc-b433-9fac3bd4e54a" style="overflow-wrap: anywhere; color: #2047FF; text-decoration: underline;" target="_blank"><em><u>my full ethics disclosure here</u></em></a><em>.</em></p><p style="margin: 0 0 1.5em 0; line-height: 1.6em; color: #15212A;"><strong style="font-weight: 700;">I.</strong></p><p style="margin: 0 0 1.5em 0; line-height: 1.6em; color: #15212A;">The first time I built a website was in 1998. I had just arrived on campus as a freshman at Northwestern University, armed with a new personal computer I had built with a friend and a copy of Microsoft FrontPage. FrontPage was released 30 years ago as what was then called a <a href="https://www.platformer.news/r/83af4e5a?m=51418983-c335-42dc-b433-9fac3bd4e54a" rel="noreferrer" style="overflow-wrap: anywhere; color: #2047FF; text-decoration: underline;" target="_blank">WYSIWYG</a> editor for websites. It let someone like me, who had not yet learned the rudiments of HTML, take a basic website template and put something of myself on the internet. My school offered basic web hosting to every student and faculty member; I used FrontPage to set up my home on the web.</p><p style="margin: 0 0 1.5em 0; line-height: 1.6em; color: #15212A;">Over the next half-decade, I built a handful more websites. I left FrontPage for a more powerful website builder called Dreamweaver, and used it to create a simple blog. After I graduated, I built a new blog on my own domain, powered by blogging software called Movable Type. </p><p style="margin: 0 0 1.5em 0; line-height: 1.6em; color: #15212A;">I loved <em>having</em> websites, but I never particularly enjoyed building them. I am not a technical person, and while basic HTML is quite approachable for beginners, I longed to create websites as personalized and customized as the greats. (Folks like <a href="https://www.platformer.news/r/33ee42cd?m=51418983-c335-42dc-b433-9fac3bd4e54a" rel="noreferrer" style="overflow-wrap: anywhere; color: #2047FF; text-decoration: underline;" target="_blank">Jason Kottke</a> and <a href="https://www.platformer.news/r/16e7cc16?m=51418983-c335-42dc-b433-9fac3bd4e54a" rel="noreferrer" style="overflow-wrap: anywhere; color: #2047FF; text-decoration: underline;" target="_blank">John Gruber</a> have been lifelong inspirations in this regard.) After lots of Googling and several rounds of trial and error, I could usually create something adequate to my purposes. But I don't know that I ever built something that I loved. </p><p style="margin: 0 0 1.5em 0; line-height: 1.6em; color: #15212A;">By 2007, when I next felt the urge to blog, I didn't even consider building a site of my own. A new "microblogging" service called Tumblr had just been created, and part of its promise was that it would take care of all the nettlesome hosting and design details for you. In 2020, when I launched <strong style="font-weight: 700;">Platformer</strong>, I chose Substack as my host for largely the same reasons I had chosen Tumblr a decade previously: web design, a discipline that once felt barely within my grasp, now felt totally out of reach.</p><p style="margin: 0 0 1.5em 0; line-height: 1.6em; color: #15212A;">I suspect it would have felt that way forever, had it not been for the advent of LLMs. Gradually and then suddenly, it became possible for a novice to create and publish a website. And the more that the tools improved, the more curious I got. </p><p style="margin: 0 0 1.5em 0; line-height: 1.6em; color: #15212A;">Last February, the AI researcher Andrej Karpathy coined the term "<a href="https://www.platformer.news/r/74793d51?m=51418983-c335-42dc-b433-9fac3bd4e54a" rel="noreferrer" style="overflow-wrap: anywhere; color: #2047FF; text-decoration: underline;" target="_blank">vibe coding</a>" to describe the act of building software with LLMs, while barely paying attention to the underlying code. "It's not too bad for throwaway weekend projects, but still quite amusing," he wrote. "I'm building a project or webapp, but it's not really coding — I just see stuff, say stuff, run stuff, and copy paste stuff, and it mostly works."</p><p style="margin: 0 0 1.5em 0; line-height: 1.6em; color: #15212A;">To the surprise of most, vibe coding became a genuine phenomenon. It turned out that what was true for an experienced software veteran like Karpathy was true for amateurs as well. My nontechnical Hard Fork co-host Kevin Roose <a href="https://www.platformer.news/r/d38fe28a?m=51418983-c335-42dc-b433-9fac3bd4e54a" rel="noreferrer" style="overflow-wrap: anywhere; color: #2047FF; text-decoration: underline;" target="_blank">built a simple hot tub maintenance app</a> for me a few weeks later; it felt more like a proof of concept for vibe-coding than a serious tool. (I abandoned it in frustration after a few days.)</p><p style="margin: 0 0 1.5em 0; line-height: 1.6em; color: #15212A;">Almost a year later, though, the leading large language models are much more powerful they were than when we ran our first vibe-coding experiments. In particular, the launch of Claude Opus 4.5 in November seemed to trigger a fresh wave of interest in the practice. When paired with Claude Code, an agentic command-line tool that lets you delegate tasks to Claude from your terminal, Opus 4.5 seemed to enable powerful new possibilities. </p><p style="margin: 0 0 1.5em 0; line-height: 1.6em; color: #15212A;">As Jaana Dogan, a principal engineer at rival Google, put it in <a href="https://www.platformer.news/r/b87ae892?m=51418983-c335-42dc-b433-9fac3bd4e54a" rel="noreferrer" style="overflow-wrap: anywhere; color: #2047FF; text-decoration: underline;" target="_blank">a post</a> with more than 8 million views: "We have been trying to build distributed agent orchestrators at Google since last year. There are various options, not everyone is aligned... I gave Claude Code a description of the problem, it generated what we built last year in an hour." (She had begun her post with: "I'm not joking and this isn't funny.")</p><p style="margin: 0 0 1.5em 0; line-height: 1.6em; color: #15212A;">Shakeel Hashim, founder of the AI safety-focused newsletter <em>Transformer</em>, captured the sentiment of many people I follow earlier this week with a post titled "<a href="https://www.platformer.news/r/ec0dd47a?m=51418983-c335-42dc-b433-9fac3bd4e54a" rel="noreferrer" style="overflow-wrap: anywhere; color: #2047FF; text-decoration: underline;" target="_blank">Claude Code is about so much more than coding</a>." He writes:</p><blockquote style="margin: 0; padding: 0; border-left: #2047FF 2px solid; font-size: 17px; font-weight: 500; line-height: 1.6em; letter-spacing: -0.2px;"><p style="line-height: 1.6em; margin: 2em 25px; font-size: 1em; padding: 0; color: #15212A;">Claude Code has implications for everyone, not just the developers that have already been wowed by it. Claude Code doesn’t just generate code for engineers to review and deploy. It <em>uses</em> code to accomplish tasks. The “Code” in its name is misleading, and undersells the actual product: a general-purpose AI agent that can do almost anything on your computer.</p></blockquote><p style="margin: 0 0 1.5em 0; line-height: 1.6em; color: #15212A;">I read Hashim's post and I wondered: could it build me a website?</p><p style="margin: 0 0 1.5em 0; line-height: 1.6em; color: #15212A;"><strong style="font-weight: 700;">II</strong>.</p><p style="margin: 0 0 1.5em 0; line-height: 1.6em; color: #15212A;">As it so happens, over the break my boyfriend had installed Claude Code on my computer. (Romantic.) One weekend, I came up with a (mediocre) idea for an app, and 30 minutes or so later, it was usable on my phone. The important thing about this exercise was that, thanks to the app-building exercise, most of the infrastructure I needed to use Claude Code effectively was now in place. I now had a GitHub account, and Claude had the permissions it needed to use my browser. </p><p style="margin: 0 0 1.5em 0; line-height: 1.6em; color: #15212A;">And so, a few days ago, I opened Claude Code in a terminal app called Ghostty (another suggestion from my boyfriend) and told it I wanted to build a website. For more than a decade, I had hosted a simple, business-card style website using Squarespace. I had never been particularly happy with the design, but had grown tired of wrestling with Squarespace's rigid templates. I was, for some reason, paying the company almost $200 a year for a static page that did nothing for me.</p><p style="margin: 0 0 1.5em 0; line-height: 1.6em; color: #15212A;">I told Claude I wanted to build something bold, and a little dramatic. I wanted hints of pixel art and other touches that would convey a sense of "tech." The page should have a short bio, and links to my projects. I set it to work.</p><p style="margin: 0 0 1.5em 0; line-height: 1.6em; color: #15212A;">Within a couple minutes, Claude had given me a working prototype. It rendered the website's name and an adjacent menu in pixelated font. At the top of the site, it left a space for a headshot. It took a first crack at writing a bio for me. </p><p style="margin: 0 0 1.5em 0; line-height: 1.6em; color: #15212A;">Over the next hour, I told Claude what I wanted to do in plain English. I added a menu of links to my profiles on Bluesky, Threads, and LinkedIn, as well as to my Signal. I added the headshot. I added an animated loading screen, and even more useless animation for anyone who accidentally clicks or taps on my face.</p><p style="margin: 0 0 1.5em 0; line-height: 1.6em; color: #15212A;">I added sections for <strong style="font-weight: 700;">Platformer</strong> and Hard Fork, and had Claude Code pull in recent stories and episodes, ensuring that the page always remains fresh. I added a box that lets you subscribe to <strong style="font-weight: 700;">Platformer</strong> if you haven't already. I added a feed of my most recent posts on Bluesky, and a Spotify playlist.</p><p style="margin: 0 0 1.5em 0; line-height: 1.6em; color: #15212A;">I posted <a href="https://www.platformer.news/r/fa429a46?m=51418983-c335-42dc-b433-9fac3bd4e54a" rel="noreferrer" style="overflow-wrap: anywhere; color: #2047FF; text-decoration: underline;" target="_blank">my site</a>, for free, to a service called Netlify. And I canceled my Squarespace account.</p><!--members-only--><p style="margin: 0 0 1.5em 0; line-height: 1.6em; color: #15212A;">I had already overshot the idea of a basic personal site into something that, in hindsight, was too bloated. But I couldn't remember the last time I had had so much fun using software. If I could think it, it seemed, the agent could build it. And so I kept asking it for ideas of what else it could build.</p><p style="margin: 0 0 1.5em 0; line-height: 1.6em; color: #15212A;">On my second day as a 10x engineer, I had the idea to add <a href="https://www.platformer.news/r/b562f2b8?m=51418983-c335-42dc-b433-9fac3bd4e54a" rel="noreferrer" style="overflow-wrap: anywhere; color: #2047FF; text-decoration: underline;" target="_blank">a blog</a> to my site: something to recapture the glory of early 2010s Tumblr. At Claude's suggestion, I set up a site on a hosting service called micro.blog. I then spent the next day fiddling with it. </p><p style="margin: 0 0 1.5em 0; line-height: 1.6em; color: #15212A;">If my first day with Claude Code had been a dream, the second day was more painful. Figuring out how to integrate my new blog into my existing site took much, much longer than building the homepage had. The reason is that Claude Code can't see the way a human does. To navigate websites (with its <a href="https://www.platformer.news/r/c9194e3b?m=51418983-c335-42dc-b433-9fac3bd4e54a" rel="noreferrer" style="overflow-wrap: anywhere; color: #2047FF; text-decoration: underline;" target="_blank">computer use</a> tool), it has to clumsily navigate through HTML, take screenshots, and identify coordinates for where it should initiate a simulated "click."</p><p style="margin: 0 0 1.5em 0; line-height: 1.6em; color: #15212A;">After some rough hours, my boyfriend took pity on me, and showed me how to connect my blog to a GitHub repo hosted locally on my computer. Suddenly, I was free to tinker again. The next day, I expanded my blog from a single column to two, filling the second one with widgets displaying San Francisco's weather, my last played song on Spotify, and my recent Bluesky posts. I also slimmed down my homepage. </p><div class="kg-card kg-image-card kg-card-hascaption" style="margin: 0 0 1.5em; padding: 0;"><img src="https://www.platformer.news/content/images/size/w1600/2026/01/Screenshot-2026-01-08-at-5.09.29---PM.png" class="kg-image" alt loading="lazy" width="600" height="347" style="border: none; -ms-interpolation-mode: bicubic; max-width: 100%; display: block; margin: 0 auto; height: auto; width: auto;"><div class="kg-card-figcaption" style="text-align: center; font-family: -apple-system, BlinkMacSystemFont, Roboto, Helvetica, Arial, sans-serif; padding-top: 10px; padding-bottom: 10px; line-height: 1.5em; color: #15212a; color: rgba(0, 0, 0, 0.6); font-size: 13px;"><span style="text-align: center; white-space: pre-wrap;">My blog</span></div></div><p style="margin: 0 0 1.5em 0; line-height: 1.6em; color: #15212A;">Often the experience of encountering some powerful new manifestation of LLMs induces in me a feeling I call AI vertigo: that unsettled, nearly nauseous feeling that everything is changing too fast for me to keep up with. But building a website in this way hadn't made me feel that way at all. It made me feel creative, powerful, and in control. It felt like the experience I <em>want</em> from AI: a meaningful enhancement of my human abilities.</p><p style="margin: 0 0 1.5em 0; line-height: 1.6em; color: #15212A;">I mentioned this to my boyfriend, who observed that I might feel differently if, say, I built websites for a living.</p><p style="margin: 0 0 1.5em 0; line-height: 1.6em; color: #15212A;"><strong style="font-weight: 700;">III</strong>.</p><p style="margin: 0 0 1.5em 0; line-height: 1.6em; color: #15212A;">I thought of my boyfriend's words today when I read the story of Tailwind CSS.</p><p style="margin: 0 0 1.5em 0; line-height: 1.6em; color: #15212A;"><a href="https://www.platformer.news/r/b82f7b3b?m=51418983-c335-42dc-b433-9fac3bd4e54a" rel="noreferrer" style="overflow-wrap: anywhere; color: #2047FF; text-decoration: underline;" target="_blank">Tailwind</a> offers a popular CSS library for building websites. It is released under the <a href="https://www.platformer.news/r/1bdc80b2?m=51418983-c335-42dc-b433-9fac3bd4e54a" rel="noreferrer" style="overflow-wrap: anywhere; color: #2047FF; text-decoration: underline;" target="_blank">extremely permissive</a> MIT license, which has allowed makers of LLMs to train on it and other open-source software. That means tools like Claude Code can reproduce techniques and even near-verbatim code from these libraries.</p><p style="margin: 0 0 1.5em 0; line-height: 1.6em; color: #15212A;">Tailwind makes money by selling what are essentially paid implementations of its library. It advertises its services in documentation related to the library. </p><p style="margin: 0 0 1.5em 0; line-height: 1.6em; color: #15212A;">But thanks to tools like Claude Code, developers have fewer reasons than ever to visit that documentation. And increasingly, people are paying Anthropic, Google, and other tech labs to implement code instead of Tailwind. The result is plummeting traffic to its site, the company's CEO says — and so today the company was forced to lay off members of its team. </p><p style="margin: 0 0 1.5em 0; line-height: 1.6em; color: #15212A;">Here's Barry Schwartz at <a href="https://www.platformer.news/r/f27a016d?m=51418983-c335-42dc-b433-9fac3bd4e54a" rel="noreferrer" style="overflow-wrap: anywhere; color: #2047FF; text-decoration: underline;" target="_blank"><em>Search Engine Roundtable</em></a>:</p><blockquote style="margin: 0; padding: 0; border-left: #2047FF 2px solid; font-size: 17px; font-weight: 500; line-height: 1.6em; letter-spacing: -0.2px;"><p style="line-height: 1.6em; margin: 2em 25px; font-size: 1em; padding: 0; color: #15212A;">Adam Wathan the creator of <a href="https://www.platformer.news/r/1db081cc?m=51418983-c335-42dc-b433-9fac3bd4e54a" style="overflow-wrap: anywhere; color: #2047FF; text-decoration: underline;" target="_blank">Tailwind CSS</a> posted that he had to let go of 75% (from 4 people now down to 1) of his engineering team because of AI. He said traffic to the Tailwind help documentation is down 40% and that is where most people learn about his solution and then buy commercial products. He added his revenue is down 80%.<br><br>He posted this in the <a href="https://www.platformer.news/r/e73968e2?m=51418983-c335-42dc-b433-9fac3bd4e54a" style="overflow-wrap: anywhere; color: #2047FF; text-decoration: underline;" target="_blank">GitHub forums</a> where he wrote the sad story about the decline. Often, most of us think AI Search is only hurting news publishers and those who create content to drive sales. But it is also hurting software platforms that produce useful help documentation to improve the web.</p></blockquote><p style="margin: 0 0 1.5em 0; line-height: 1.6em; color: #15212A;">This is another grim <a href="https://www.platformer.news/r/634b6c1a?m=51418983-c335-42dc-b433-9fac3bd4e54a" rel="noreferrer" style="overflow-wrap: anywhere; color: #2047FF; text-decoration: underline;" target="_blank">scene from our dying web</a>. "Making a business on top of open source software already was near impossible," coder Valentin Ignatev said. "And now OSS maintainers who want to earn money are extra screwed. AI will scrape your project site, users will never visit it for documentation and will never know about your commercial product. </p><p style="margin: 0 0 1.5em 0; line-height: 1.6em; color: #15212A;">"And we're not talking about some random small library," he added. "This is the world's most used CSS framework."</p><p style="margin: 0 0 1.5em 0; line-height: 1.6em; color: #15212A;">By the day's end, both Google and Vercel said they had agreed to "sponsor" Tailwind. (Over email, Google would not offer any details on the size of its sponsorship, or whether it is commensurate to the value its LLMs have derived from it.)</p><p style="margin: 0 0 1.5em 0; line-height: 1.6em; color: #15212A;">"Democratizing" technologies often have the effect of driving down the cost of labor. In this case, the same technology that let me build a personal website without writing a single line of HTML is also behind the collapse of a company that helped to make that possible.</p><p style="margin: 0 0 1.5em 0; line-height: 1.6em; color: #15212A;">Whether this feels like a good bargain or a bad one depends on where you sit. For the moment, Claude Code feels to me like a superpower. (What better way to fight the dying of the web, after all, than by building more websites?)</p><p style="margin: 0 0 1.5em 0; line-height: 1.6em; color: #15212A;">But my enthusiasm is tempered by the knowledge that the technology that came for the Tailwind engineers is coming for me, too. Today Claude Code and its peers can make some incredible websites.
