"While vibe-coding is when humans prompt AI to write code, OpenAI cofounder Andrej Karpathy says agentic engineering is when AI agents write the code themselves. "Many people have tried to come up with a better name for this to differentiate it from vibe coding, personally, my current favorite is 'agentic engineering,'" he wrote in a recent X post. Karpathy said he calls it "agentic engineering" not just because agents are writing the code, but because "there is an art & science and expertise to it.""
"Vibe-coding is one of the biggest innovations of the AI revolution. Prominent CEOs and startup founders alike are encouraging the use of vibe-coding across their teams. And billions are being poured into new vibe-coding companies. Lovable, one of Europe's fastest-growing startups, announced that it had raised $330 million in Series B funding at a $6.6 billion valuation in December. Cursor, an AI-assisted code editor, announced a Series D funding round of $2.3 billion in November and said it had surpassed $1 billion in annualized revenue."
Vibe-coding refers to humans prompting AI to write code and has rapidly influenced the tech industry. Agentic engineering refers to AI agents autonomously writing code and is described as requiring art, science, and expertise. Vibe-coding adoption has attracted significant investment, fueling fast startup growth and large funding rounds. Examples include Lovable's $330 million Series B at a $6.6 billion valuation and Cursor's Series D and claimed over $1 billion in annualized revenue. Vibe-coding adoption is reshaping engineering roles; a Business Insider survey of 167 software engineers found 75 keeping up, 30 ahead, and 27 behind.
