When Vibe Coding Meets Agent Engineering: The Next Evolution of Software Architecture
summary
Argues that autonomous agents can produce production-quality systems and demonstrates an "agent factory" where agents message each other, an orchestration controller enforces two-step approvals and checkpoint reviews, and each agent runs a private small language model to prevent domain drift. Shows a prototype orchestration UI (Alpine Gate) and proposes tokenized payments using "sharp tokens" for agent services, while discussing LLM grounding and next-token limitations and citing a Microsoft claim of 100–200k employee agents within years.
