Most notable about Goose’s popularity is the fact that it is capable of performing intricate coding work with little human engagement. Unlike traditional coding assistants that require step-by-step approvals, Goose allows for what Brad Axen, tech lead for AI and data platform at Block, calls “vibe coding.”

Block is a long-time proponent of Bitcoin and its blockchain, and some consider open-source AI and decentralized finance to be a natural fit. Pete Rizzo — aka The Bitcoin Historian on X/Twitter — recently quoted Dorsey speculating that Bitcoin might be the currency of AI with the rationale that autonomous agents of AI will gravitate toward zero-friction transactions.
