The Way of Code – Virtual Book Club 📖

​Holy shit, Rick Rubin just rewrote the Tao Te Ching for Vibe Coders

​Anthropic × Rick Rubin dropped The Way of Code (thewayofcode.com) - basically Lao Tzu's ancient wisdom reimagined for the AI era through the eyes of "Vibe Master" Rick.

​Rick Rubin, the legendary producer who literally doesn't know how to play instruments but shaped everyone from Johnny Cash to Kanye, has become the unofficial mascot of "vibe coding" - where you build apps by just describing what you want to AI.

​I feel like this moment and this particular creation are worth talking about, but they signal so much more to come.

​Here's the deal:

• ​On Sunday, one Google Meet link

• ​Loose structure, open discussion

• ​Raise your hand, share what hits you

• ​2 hours to explore this thing together

​What we'll probably talk about:

• ​Favorite passages from The Way of Code

• ​Rick Rubin as the patron saint of taste > technical skill

• ​How vibe coding is changing everything (something like 25% of YC's latest batch is AI-generated)

• ​Where this is all heading

​Who should come:

​Anyone who:

• ​Thinks we're in a new age of enlightenment with AI

• ​Wants to be part of this cultural moment

• ​Has been building with Claude/Cursor/v0/Lovable/etc

• ​Just curious what the hell this is all about

​The dream:

​Someone from Anthropic sees this and signal boosts it. Rick Rubin himself drops in. But honestly? Let's just see what happens when we get a bunch of people who feel this shift in the same room.

​Sunday morning. Coffee in hand. Talking about the future.

​Free. Just show up.

​P.S. - This could be profound or it could be chaos. Either way, you'll meet people who get it.

P.P.S. – I made an llms.txt style version of the book, you can view the txt file here and use it to chat with Rick's POV with your preferred LLM.
