Vitalik: AI 'vibe coding' could accelerate Ethereum roadmap

Ethereum founder Vitalik Buterin said on X that people should be open to the possibility that AI-assisted "vibe coding" could complete the Ethereum roadmap to 2030 much faster and with greater security than anticipated. His comments follow a claim by an anonymous developer, YQ, who asserted that they could implement the Ethereum roadmap in just two weeks using this method. Buterin acknowledged that a system built without EIPs would have limitations and numerous critical bugs. However, he noted that such an experiment was impossible even six months ago. He explained that AI is tremendously accelerating coding speed and that "vibe coding" is becoming a significant trend.
