Vibe coding is a good starting point, but it is not where serious AI-assisted development ends. The next step is agentic engineering: using AI coding agents inside a controlled engineering workflow, with context, tests, review and clear boundaries. Vibe coding often focuses on the generated output: Ask for feature -> get code -> run it -> ask for fixes Agentic engineering focuses on the system ar
Introduction I've been seeing more developers say that Codex has become easier to use, more cost-effective, or simply a better fit for some workflows than it used to be. This is not a "Claude Code is bad, everyone should switch" article. I still use Claude Code at work, and if cost were less of a factor in my personal setup, I would probably be using both more actively. If you're already comfort
Hello everyone! I wanted to write this article to share my experience with agentic coding without Claude and Codex, I started dabbling with agentic coding a few months ago when Claude had decent limits on the 20$ plan, You prompt the agent: I want e2e tests, and it will study the codebase and implement them. When I've started hitting limits on Claude code, and this is not a secret that they reduc
This post was created with AI assistance and reviewed for accuracy before publishing. Cursor can use project rules and documentation to steer behavior. Exact file names and mechanisms evolve; check Cursor documentation for the current layout (for example rules in .cursor or legacy .cursorrules patterns). Short, enforceable bullets beat long essays: stack versions, test commands, “no new dependenci
Vibe coding is one of those terms that sounds unserious until you notice how many people are actually doing it. The basic idea is simple: describe what you want, let an AI coding tool generate the implementation, run it, adjust the prompt, and keep going. It can feel magical. It can also go wrong very quickly. Vibe coding works best when the problem is visible and forgiving: small prototypes inter
