Vibe coding and agentic engineering are getting closer than I'd like

Simon Willison discusses the convergence of 'vibe coding' (using AI without code review) and 'agentic engineering' (using AI as a professional tool) in his own work, noting that as AI coding tools become more reliable, he finds himself trusting them without reviewing every line of code, even for production systems. He reflects on the implications for software quality, accountability, and development processes.
