That's how Karpathy defined it - it's throwing and rethrowing it back to the LLM agent until you have a result that roughly matches the goal.

It's the behaviorism of programming. (Pay no attention to the man behind the curtain).

Personally I use the term "agentic coding" if you are high leveling describing the specs to the LLM agent but still taking some minimal amount of time to review the diffs.
