I think we need to distinguish vibe coding from agentic engineering.
A project that happens to work is vibe coding.
A project built with solid engineering practices—specs, unit tests, formal verification, fuzzing, benchmarks, documentation, coding standards, and good engineering taste—is agentic engineering.
It’s fundamentally no different from what Guido and the CPython core developers do every day. The difference is who’s writing the code, not how we ensure its quality.
I cannot ensure it won't screw but making oroject fixable and being able to distribute patches further down the stream is also important. Think php2shell.
