Code generation isn't the moat. Engineering is. Last week I sat on a panel at the SVB Experience Center with Sanjeev Dhanda (Google DeepMind) and Abhi Aiyer (Mastra) on the move from vibe coding to agentic engineering Constructive Silicon Valley Bank Kristopher Floyd

@GoogleDeepMind @abhiaiyer @mastra @constructive_io @SiliconVlyBank @Kristopherfloyd Good engineers, good cities, people are comfortable, people live easy and safe lives.

@GoogleDeepMind @abhiaiyer @mastra @constructive_io @SiliconVlyBank @Kristopherfloyd If 41% is AI-generated, trust layer becomes the real product, not the feature anymore

the part that breaks is when state needs to span more than two files. one-shot generation handles screen one fine. screen two needs a model someone has to reason about, and that's where the engineering either shows up or doesn't. we built mk0r to enforce that cross-file state model as a first-class graph the agent has to reason against,

@GoogleDeepMind @abhiaiyer @mastra @constructive_io @SiliconVlyBank @Kristopherfloyd agentic engineering still fails quietly without observability, evals and rollback baked in

@GoogleDeepMind @abhiaiyer @mastra @constructive_io @SiliconVlyBank @Kristopherfloyd Awesome

@GoogleDeepMind @abhiaiyer @mastra @constructive_io @SiliconVlyBank @Kristopherfloyd The industry’s realizing that shipping real products takes more than AI-generated code. Tools can accelerate coding, but architecture, reliability, debugging, product judgment, and systems thinking are still what separate demos from actual engineering.

41% of all code is now AI-generated. The question isn't "can we build it?" anymore — it's "can we trust it?" Coding is being commoditized. Engineering is becoming the discipline of trust.

You don't vibe code the vault. The durable value lives lower in the stack: authorization, testing, observability — the substrate that makes agentic software safe at scale.

Thanks to @Kristopherfloyd / Frontier Syndicate and @SiliconVlyBank for hosting 🙏🏻

@GoogleDeepMind @abhiaiyer @mastra @constructive_io @SiliconVlyBank @Kristopherfloyd Engineering’s true strength lies in the vision and discipline behind the code, not just the code itself. It’s the craft that really differentiates.

@GoogleDeepMind @abhiaiyer @mastra @constructive_io @SiliconVlyBank @Kristopherfloyd Exactly. AI raises the floor for code generation, but architecture, tests, permissions, and operational judgment are where real engineering still compounds.

@GoogleDeepMind @abhiaiyer @mastra @constructive_io @SiliconVlyBank @Kristopherfloyd what does "engineering" look like in practice here, graphs, eval harnesses, deploy pipes?

@GoogleDeepMind @abhiaiyer @mastra @constructive_io @SiliconVlyBank @Kristopherfloyd engineering is building of systems that help humans and agent converge on reliable software, opposed to just generating code
