Roles and terms
This is a technical knowledge base. Each entry answers its question in the first paragraph, explains the detail, then links it to what we test engineers for.
AI-native engineer vs AI engineer
AI-native engineer and AI engineer are not the same role. This entry explains the difference, the overlap, and when you need which.
What is prompt engineering, and does it still matter
Prompt engineering is the practice of crafting inputs to get better outputs from a language model. It still matters, but its scope has narrowed.
What is a 10x engineer, now
The 10x engineer idea predates AI tooling. This entry explains what the term means now, why it has changed, and how to tell when an engineer's AI use actually multiplies their output.
What is agentic coding
Agentic coding is when an AI agent writes, runs, and revises code autonomously across multiple steps, with minimal human input per cycle.
What is an AI-native engineer
An AI-native engineer builds production software with AI tools as a core part of how they work every day. This entry covers what that looks like in practice.
What is context engineering
Context engineering is the practice of designing what information a model receives, when, and in what structure. This entry covers how engineers apply it in real systems.
What is vibe coding
Vibe coding means generating software by describing intent in natural language and accepting the output with little or no manual review. This entry covers what that looks like in practice.
