I like the idea of finding an alternative name to "vibe coding" to describe this more substantive alternative. However, I personally think the name "vibe engineering" is too close to vibe coding and not sufficiently distinct.

I don't have a great alternative unfortunately. I've used "agentic coding" in the past as a means of differentiating from vibe coding, but I don't think that's necessarily clear enough either.

That said, maybe with defining this new approach it's just going to take time for any term to become familiar enough to be self-explanatory.
