Summary
In this tweet, Peter Steinberger (founder of PSPDFKit and AI developer) argues against the popular trend of calling AI-assisted development 'vibe coding.' He contends that the term suggests a 'yolo' approach lacking in thought and discipline. Instead, he emphasizes that professional development with AI still requires core engineering practices like testing, debugging, and iterating. He proposes 'agentic engineering' as a better term, noting that while AI makes development faster, the underlying engineering challenges remain difficult.
