Agents get their own AOL, Andrew gets published, and vibe coding is actually good?

Is vibe coding actually good now? This week on The Friday Deploy, Andrew and Ben explore the convergence of vibe coding and agentic engineering, unpack the decline of the traditional technical interview, and discuss why companies like Warp are prioritizing AI prototypes over planning meetings. They also celebrate Andrew's newly published research on "mise en place" context engineering. Finally, they break down the enterprise AI "last mile" crisis and share how they are using personal knowledge graphs to upskill their own agents.
