I’ve been using the term “agentic coding” more often, because I am always shy to claim that our field rises to the level of the engineers that build bridges and rockets. I’m happy to use “agentic engineering” however, and if Simon coins it, it just might stick. :) Thanks for sharing your best practices, Simon!
I decided to go with it after z.AI used it in their GLM-5 announcement: https://z.ai/blog/glm-5 - I figured if the Chinese AI labs have picked it up that's a good sign it's broken out.
I think there are a lot of reasons to use your suggested alternative title. One example being that in a lot of countries such as Canada, it's illegal to use the title Engineer without holding a PEng designation from the countries/provinces engineering body, eg: https://www.egbc.ca/complaints-discipline/unauthorized-pract...
