Andrej Karpathy Retires Vibe Coding for Agentic Engineering
Andrej Karpathy coined the phrase 'vibe coding' in February 2025 to describe casual, low-scrutiny AI-assisted programming. By December 2025, 80 percent of his own code was AI-generated, and by April 2026 he had declared vibe coding passe at Sequoia Capital's AI Ascent event. What replaced it, a concept he calls agentic engineering, defines a harder discipline. Here is the 18-month arc of how his thinking changed.
Andrej Karpathy's Case for Agentic Engineering in 2026
At Sequoia AI Ascent 2026, Andrej Karpathy drew a firm line between vibe coding and agentic engineering, arguing that professionals who master spec design, diff review, eval loops, and security oversight can unlock performance gains far beyond 10x. Here is what he said and why it matters.
