Vibe Coding2026-07-11 · source-backed
Willison's framing has settled into a real split: vibe coding (intent-first, accept-without-reading, optimized for speed with Lovable/Bolt/v0) versus agentic engineering (correctness-first, Claude Code/Aider/Cline under structured oversight). The tell is process. Spec-driven SOPs, TDD-for-agents, and review gates are migrating from blog theory into default workflows. The leverage for a solo builder is picking the right mode per task instead of treating them as one activity.
