</aside>

<aside>

Resetjockey: Someone who knows exactly when token or usage limits reset and structures their workflow around it. Operates on refresh cycles instead of creative cycles.

</aside>

<aside>

Vibe Coding: A loose, exploratory way of building with AI where intuition and prompts drive progress more than structured engineering. Strong for prototypes and personal tools, weak for reliability without oversight.

</aside>

<aside>

Agentic Engineering: A more structured, professional approach where AI agents are orchestrated deliberately to perform tasks like testing, refactoring, research, and planning. Emphasis on systems, validation, and reliability.

<aside>

Macro Actions (Programming Shift): The shift from writing line by line code to delegating higher level tasks to AI. Examples: "implement this feature," "refactor this," "compare approaches," "write tests and fix failures."
