I spent some time trying to think of a better term because I also think "vibe" detracts from the intent, and I think you nailed it with "agentic coding". Ill do my part by using that term now, hopefully it catches on : D
I was writing up some recommendations to my team for using Github Copilot in its different modes + Roo Code/Cline and tried so hard to avoid using “vibe coding” in a professional context. For sake of clarity I ended up including it once in a “you may have heard the term…” style reference but it just comes across as so deeply unserious and felt ridiculous being forced to use it at all.
I also landed on “agentic coding” FWIW. It’s a bit clunky but didn’t feel like an embarrassment to the entire software industry typing it so I’ll happily use it over the alternative.
