'Agentic engineering' proposed as vibe coding's meaning drifts
Aizkmusic · x · 2026-10-19
Chris Albon complains that "vibe coding" has drifted: it was meant for something whipped up at midnight after three beers, but now means anything written mostly by an agent — making "500 hours of vibecoding this complex software" feel wrong. Replies propose "Agentic engineering" as the better term, reflecting how agent-driven coding workflows are becoming serious engineering.
