The article, by Dr. Jerry A. Smith, introduces the RDP (Research, Development, Production) model, a new framework for categorizing work in the rapidly evolving field of agentic AI development. This model distinguishes between systemic (capital letters) and component-level (lowercase letters) activities across Research, Development, and Production phases, tailored explicitly for Vibe and Context Engineering. Vibe Engineering focuses on AI agents as primary team members in structured AI-assisted development, while Context Engineering involves optimizing information flow to AI systems. The author argues that traditional software engineering is obsolete as AI agents autonomously generate and deploy code, requiring a new approach to managing and understanding this accelerated development cycle.
