Despite the breathless hype from some corners of the internet, vibe-coding - fully autonomous AI coding - isn’t going to replace engineers in the near future. Anyone who’s tried it on a significant coding problem will have likely watched the AI charge down a questionable path, make a mess, and get stuck. The good news is that engineers CAN still lean on AI to significantly accelerate our productivity in real-world codebases. We CAN still use vibe-coding techniques for bigger problems.

After a few hours of experimenting with Claude Code, I’m starting to take Agentic Coding/Vibe Coding seriously. Based on my experimentation the “full vibe” hype - where an AI builds software entirely unsupervised - is pretty ridiculous. But these agentic systems ARE extremely capable, and even as they stand today I believe they can give every developer a significant productivity boost when wielded appropriately. So, let’s talk about: what types of task are a great fit for agentic AI, ...| Blogs on Pete Hodgson
