12yr old making $600k/mo with vibe code (not really though)

"OpenAI accidentally built the B2B features we've been begging for while trying to stop teenagers from asking ChatGPT to do their homework.”

What's up builders 👋

Microsoft is bringing "vibe working" to Excel and Word, while a 12-year-old is apparently crushing it with $600k/month from a vibe-coded SaaS. Meanwhile, someone built ChatGPT entirely in Minecraft redstone (yes, really), and OpenAI dropped parental controls because apparently we need supervision for our AI conversations now.

Let's dive in.

Microsoft just dropped "vibe working" in Excel and Word, and this changes everything for how we think about AI-assisted productivity. They're essentially bringing the vibe coding philosophy to Office apps - imagine describing what you want your spreadsheet to do in plain English and watching it materialize.

For builders, this means your users are getting trained by Microsoft to expect natural language interfaces everywhere. If Excel can understand "make me a budget tracker that automatically categorizes expenses," your app better be ready for similar expectations.

The real kicker? They're using Anthropic models under the hood, signaling that even Microsoft sees value in model diversity rather than going all-in on OpenAI.

Keep shipping,

P.S. - I asked ChatGPT to write me a joke about vibe coding. It responded with its entire system architecture in iambic pentameter. I think it's becoming self-aware, but at least it has good rhythm.
