One terminal chats with another to start vibe coding a new dericbownds.net

Writing MindBlog posts is on temporary hiatus because I have recently followed Claude's instructions to set up my Mac mini M3 to use Claude code, getting my own API, etc., and starting for myself the "vibe coding" I have been reading so much about. The terminal app on the Mac is used to both view the lines of code it is executing as they flow past, as well as to issue instructions with your own keyboard (or voice). This is essentially one sort of terminal that interfaces with a vast underlying machinery (The Apple terminal App) with another sort of terminal (My sense of having a self, which is a very thin veneer over a more organic sort of machinery). In both cases, it's machines all the way down. I'm in the midst of touching up the clean simple code that Claude Code generated in several tries (that in total took less than 15 minutes) to replace my old HTML from the 1990s and then early 2000s using Dreamweaver templates that have now been removed.  I will be replacing the current dericbownds.net with a new one as soon as I am happy with what I'm seeing.
