Andrej Karpathy just gave the future of work a name: agentic engineering. Learn it, and you'll work 10, 20, even 40 times faster. Don't, and someone who did will do your whole job in an afternoon.

I've worked this way for over a year. In this video I explain exactly what Karpathy means by agentic engineering, give you my four-tier map of how much you build around the AI — Harness → Personal AI → AI Infrastructure → Shared Infrastructure — and demo it live: one plain-English instruction spinning up a five-agent security review, with governance gates that stop bad code shipping. Cybersecurity is the worked example, because attackers will force everyone up the tiers whether the industry is ready or not.
