Andrej Karpathy, who coined "vibe coding" in February 2025, now declares it passe. His replacement term, "agentic engineering," reflects that agents "basically didn't work before December and basically work since." The key distinction: "agentic" because you orchestrate agents writing 99% of the code; "engineering" because there is art, science, and expertise to doing it well. This week's thought leader convergence is remarkable — Chollet draws the ML failure modes analogy, Fowler publishes "Knowledge Priming" to break the AI frustration loop, Osmani frames the coder-to-orchestrator progression, and the first empirical study proves AGENTS.md files reduce agent runtime by 28.64%.
