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 The author argues that traditional software engineering is obsolete as AI agents autonomously generate and deploy code, requiring a new approach to managing and understanding this accelerated development cycle.

Our Code is Now AI-Generated: A New Framework for the Post-Human Development Era

In episode 22 of Open Source Ready, Brian and John sit down with Benji Kalman, co-founder of Root, to explore the intersection of AI, software development, and security. They unpack "vibe coding," its impact on API proliferation, and the hidden costs of increased technical debt. Learn why a security vulnerability is just a bug with a purpose, and discover how AI agents can be used not just to write code, but to automatically find and remediate vulnerabilities in open-source containers.
