Andrej Karpathy - co-founder of OpenAI. he's the one who coined the term "vibe coding."
Karpathy says the code AI agents write gives him "a little bit of a heart attack," and vibe coding stopped being about programming a while ago.
he draws the line between vibe coding and agentic engineering. he explains why the old "10x engineer" now means far more than 10x, and what stays a human's job once agents write the code.
the point isn't that programmers disappear. value shifts from writing code to taste, judgment and oversight. an agent is a gifted intern: fast, but tasteless - "it works, but it's gross." hold the quality bar and you win big; everyone else drowns in generated slop.
00:16 he separates vibe coding from agentic engineering. 06:59 he admits what gives him "a heart attack."
8 minutes after which "it works" will never feel like enough again.
