Addy Osmani is one of the authors of The New SDLC With Vibe Coding, a Google-branded paper on the shift from ad-hoc AI-assisted coding toward disciplined agentic engineering [src-094].

Key facts

  • Type: Person
  • Role in this wiki: Author source for AI-assisted software development, context engineering, harness engineering, and production coding-agent practice
  • First seen: 2026-05 training paper [src-094]

What it does

In [src-094], Osmani and co-authors argue that the important production boundary is not AI use itself, but whether AI-generated work is surrounded by specifications, context, tests, evals, guardrails, observability, and human judgement.

The paper connects developer workflow changes to operating-model changes: developers move from typing implementation details toward designing the system that can safely produce and verify implementation.

Robin Cartier perspective

This page is part of Robin Cartier's working AI knowledge graph: a practical research layer for production AI, recommendation systems, experimentation, GEO, and agentic web readiness.

The useful next step is to connect this concept back to applied product leadership and operating models.
