My 8-year-old vibe-coded a video game about playing music with Michael McDonald

My 8-year-old vibe-coded a video game called "Play With Michael McDonald", and she wanted to present it. So here's Ella!

The origin story

After playing some Mario Party minigames the other evening, my 8-year-old daughter said,

I wanna make a game where you are a backing musician for Michael McDonald on his world tour, and you traveled to the south pole and play music, and there are penguins dancing around.

...as you do. So we sat down with Claude Cowork and punched in the following:

We then sat down with Claude Cowork and spent the next 15 minutes iterating over the game, laughing all the way.

Into the Creative Infinite

This experience conjures up all sorts of thoughts and feelings, which I'll save for another day. But I do think that this exemplifies what I'm calling The Creative Infinite.

We're in a place where we can think of ideas, articulate them, and then seconds/minutes later be interacting with those ideas, seeing them come to life before our very eyes.

It's truly stunning, and unlocks all sorts of big opportunities and challenges. But setting all of that aside, I'm just so incredibly excited to see what my daughter's gonna come up with next.
