Vibe coding and agentic engineering are getting closer than I'd like

Simon Willison discusses how vibe coding (using AI to generate code without understanding or reviewing it) and agentic engineering (using AI tools while maintaining professional standards and code quality) are becoming harder to distinguish in practice. As AI coding tools become more reliable, even experienced engineers like Willison find themselves not reviewing all AI-generated code in production systems, which blurs the line between the two approaches and raises questions about responsible software development.
