Aligning product, design, and engineering so agents share facts and traceable hand-offs—not only IDE automation; Karpathy’s usage (~Feb 2026) names the same idea when models are orchestrated with oversight as real engineering, distinct from casual vibe coding.
Agentic engineering — In EasySpecs Labs copy, this is the wider practice of aligning product, design, and engineering so agents work from the same facts, hand-offs stay traceable, and quality and governance stay explicit—not only individual IDE automation.
Karpathy usage — In a retrospective framing (~February 2026), Karpathy used the same phrase for orchestrating agents with oversight and treating the activity as real engineering (depth, quality), distinct from casual vibe coding.
