Karpathy coined "vibe coding" in Feb 2025. 13 months later he called it passé.
His replacement term: agentic engineering.
The difference isn't the tools. It's who owns the judgment.
English
Vibe coding: prompt → accept → ship → pray.
Agentic engineering: define goals → let agents execute → YOU review the logic → ship.
One of these collapses under real data. The other scales.
English
I've been building ML pipelines hands-on. LightGBM. Optuna tuning. Imbalanced datasets. Threshold optimization.
AI didn't catch the edge cases. I did.
That's the part vibe coding skips.
English
92% of US developers use AI coding tools daily. 41% of all code is now AI-generated.
The bottleneck isn't who writes the code anymore. It's who understands what the code is actually doing.
English
Vibe coding is a prototyping tool dressed up as an engineering discipline.
If you can't read the output, debug the failure, or explain the tradeoff, you're not an engineer. You're a prompt wrapper.
