Stop prompting! Why Anthropic co-founder says the way we talk to AI is already obsolete

General News

Summary

The article says Anthropic co-founder Boris Cherny believes manual prompting is becoming outdated as AI agents take over more of the work. It explains loop engineering, where systems let agents generate prompts, coordinate tasks, and iterate with less human intervention. The piece also highlights how leaders at Google Cloud, OpenAI, and other AI tooling companies are framing this shift as a new operating model for software development. It notes that these agentic workflows can increase compute costs, so teams need to balance autonomy with budget control. The article also covers Cherny’s push to retire the phrase “vibe coding” and replace it with a more serious description of AI-assisted engineering.
