#VibeCoding and #AgenticEngineering are NOT the same thing. After months of using AI agents daily, I wrote about where vibe coding falls apart and why agentic engineering is the better path for professional devs. 📧 That's what today's newsletter is about 🔗 vtns.io/zid6jj #ClaudeCode

huh the distinction matters but in practice they blur every 20 minutes. you start with a plan, agent hits a wall at some import path, you vibe your way through it, hand control back. rinse repeat

Sure it happens, but for the most part, that's not been my experience. Usually, a detailed plan that includes validation checks can self-heal & fix itself. At least that's my experience with Claude Code

fair enough, sounds like your planning game is tighter than mine. i tend to treat the plan as a living doc that gets rewritten mid-session. probably says more about my chaos tolerance than the tooling

I don't have a unique process tho... 1. start by putting Claude into plan mode 2. explain what I have (context) & what my desired outcome is (goals) 3. explain validation gates 4. ask "do you have any clarifying q's?" Then we go back and forth until it creates a plan (that I review & edit).
