Vibe coding, the process of using AI models to write code for you, first emerged in 2025. It has since sparked fierce discussion about the future of software development. Are software engineers now redundant? Can CEOs now vibe code their way to new markets, without an official product development team? Will the next big app come from someone who has never written their own line of code?

Lakshya Agarwal is a forward-deployment engineer at an AI company called Tavily. He’s also an experienced vibe coder. He believes in the power of vibe coding, but not without vigorous human oversight and accountability. That’s why he advocates for agentic engineering, the practice of safely using vibe coding in development pipelines. In today’s interview, he tells us what that could look like in your organization.

Eric Dicaire, Delve’s managing editor, hosts this episode.
