It'll be more like architecture than engineering, I think. Sketch out the building plan, context (physical and social) and desired usage.

I think we're saying broadly the same thing. (Old school) Software engineering is fairly unlike most engineering disciplines. We've been both the engineer and the technician (and the latter's taken a lot of time, especially as at lower levels) but now Claude (or equivalent) is capable of being the technician, at least.

Articulating about architecture (as opposed to engineering (as opposed to programming)) is a part of coping I believe. Yes, LLMs do architectures as well. I think the vibe-coding is the more precise term, also considering that less and less human reviews are being done.
