AI Trends Agentic Engineering Future of Work

Vibe Coding Is Dead. Long Live Agentic Input.

It was fun while it lasted. "Vibe Coding"—the art of casually prompting an LLM until it hallucinates something that compiles—is officially on notice.

Yesterday, Andrej Karpathy and Microsoft AI CEO Mustafa Suleyman signaled the shift: the era of "vibes" is fading. Replacing it is Agentic Engineering.

Where Vibe Coding was about exploration and luck, Agentic Engineering is about precision, orchestration, and structural integrity. It's not just about getting code; it's about building systems that build systems.

The Input Bottleneck

Here's the problem nobody talks about: Natural Language is a terrible interface for precise engineering if you're typing it at 40 WPM.

To control an agent effectively, you need to provide context, constraints, and architecture. You need to dump your mental model into the agent's context window faster than you can forget it. Typing destroys this flow. It's too slow. It breaks the "thought-to-execution" loop.

Enter DictaFlow

We built DictaFlow for this exact moment. It isn't just a dictation tool; it's a high-bandwidth uplink for your brain.

With Actually Override technology, you can correct yourself mid-sentence ("wait, no, make that a const") without breaking stride. With our VDI Bypass, you can drive agents inside locked-down Citrix environments where VS Code doesn't even exist.

The future of coding isn't typing. It's directing. And you can't direct a symphony with a keyboard.

Welcome to the Agentic Era.
