500 people vibe-coded for 30 days. I was one of them.
summary
Automattic pauses the roadmap for a 30‑day Radical Speed Month where about 500 people launch 794 projects and one participant ships three products. Teams pair, use GitHub, Cloud Code, Figma, Storybook and context AC, and lean on AI to move designers into code. Concrete outcomes: a design system status tracker built in ~2.5 weeks and a working iOS chat for WooCommerce merchants built in six days with wordpress.com auth and Jetpack integration.
