a better term might be “feedback engineering” or “verification engineering” (what feedback loop do I need to construct to ensure that the output artifact from the agent matches my specification)

This includes standard testing strategies, but also much more general processes

I think of it as steering a probability distribution

At least to me, this makes it clear where “vibe coding” sits … someone who doesn’t know how to express precise verification or feedback loops is going to get “the mean of all software”
