I hate vibe coding.

The same way I've never trusted gambling.

I believe in luck. I think it plays a role in life. But building anything a career, a system, a life around chance feels dumb to me.

My first experience with programming was basically vibe coding.

When I was in class 5, I had an HTML book.

I'd copy code snippets into a text editor, change random things, and somehow websites would appear on the screen.

I had no idea what I was doing.
But I loved it. Not the code itself.

The feeling that you could build something out of nothing.

That's when I decided I wanted to become a software engineer.

Years later, AI arrived.

I was vibe coding before the term existed.

At first it felt magical.

Then it started bothering me.

The more I learned, the less interested I became in prompting and hoping.

When something worked, I wanted to know why.
When something failed, I wanted to know where.

I didn't want to roll the dice and pray for a six.

I wanted to understand the machine.

That's what led me to agentic engineering.

Not because I think AI replaces engineers.

Because I think the real skill is shifting from writing every line yourself to designing systems that consistently produce the outcomes you want.

The promise isn't luck.

It's design.

There's no clear roadmap for learning this.

So I'm building my own.

Project by project. System by system.
Studying the architecture underneath the magic.

This account is that journey.

Not the story of an expert.

The story of someone trying to become one.

Honestly grateful @X lets me find people like this.

A timeline full of builders — agents, side experiments, weird apps, 3am debugging wins — is a different app.

Building or experimenting with anything right now?

Drop it below.
I'll go through every reply.

@ShraddhaShips That's the summary of success:

Just discipline and consistency.

[Purnendu Gharami @PurnenduBuilds]

@bluewmist Grand missions are overrated.

Just do what you must and let the world decide the rest.

[Purnendu Gharami @PurnenduBuilds]

@Nithya_Shrii In one word: freedom.

[Purnendu Gharami @PurnenduBuilds]

@JayNaiduX Without a doubt, Option A.

I suck at marketing.

[Purnendu Gharami @PurnenduBuilds]

@bluewmist That's the sad part.

Some people grew up watching Disney and still think the world is a fairy tale.

@readswithravi Pressure creates change.

It either breaks you or builds you into someone dangerous.

@anupamrjp Creative people tend to get lost in the pursuit of perfection.

But perfection doesn't exist.

Which means the pursuit never ends.

@tailopez Envy usually comes from people who know you, not from those who don't.

[Purnendu Gharami @PurnenduBuilds]

@wisdomXplorer It reminds me of the quote:

"Hard choices, easy life. Easy choices, hard life."

I don't remember who said it, though.

Currently working on becoming an Agentic Engineer from a Vibe Coder.

@dark_coderz I think audiences, like humans in general, buy more on emotion than logic.

@akthawicked Many people think you can post a few times and make a lot of money.

Only those who have actually tried know how hard it is.
