Zach Lloyd argues agentic engineering is now two disciplines: product engineering, ensuring the quality and usefulness of what ships, and factory engineering, deploying agents to build that product while optimizing system efficiency and output quality. He says engineers need to adapt by treating agent-driven production as a discipline of its own.
