100% agreed. Karpathy seems to have coined it - it's up there with "asshat" and "awesome sauce" for profoundly stupid terms.

I personally use agentic programming to refer to a workflow that consists of having an agent (Cline, Claude Coder, etc.) write the majority of the code for you, but unlike "vibe coding" you're still taking a minimal amount of time to sanity check the output.

People constantly defend it by saying that "vibe coding" isn't meant for production (yada yada), but let's not be naive, because it will 100% be used to push actual applications.
