the man who coined "vibe coding" just said he's never felt more behind as a programmer. Andrej Karpathy went from writing 80% of his code to delegating 80% to agents. In one month. his core thesis: vibe coding raised the floor, agentic engineering raises the ceiling. what shifted in his workflow: > code is not the verb anymore. "I express my will to my agents 16 hours a day" > idle tokens = you're the bottleneck. run more agents in parallel > jagged ghosts, not animals. spike on what RL rewarded, fail on the rest > you can outsource thinking. you cannot outsource understanding his 4 CLAUDE.md rules from January are the floor for this transition. they cut my Claude mistakes from 41% to 11% across 30 codebases. but they were built for January's problem. the May 2026 agent-orchestration problems didn't exist yet. so I added 8 more rules. got the mistake rate to 3%. watch the lecture, read the breakdown. stop blaming the model. fix your claude.
