About two years ago I was using the term "agentic engineer" to describe someone who builds AI agents - not a vibe coder.

Agentic Engineer does not make much sense to be applied to a developer.

It is weird and confusing to call a web designer that uses AI assisted coding tools "agentic engineer".

Vanity titles never make much sense, and now even more people can call themselves “engineers”. I was always at a loss why many weren’t calling themselves “web engineers”. Hey Mom, I used Claude Code today at work so I’m an Agentic Engineer!
