Andrew Ng published an AI Engineering Skills map covering the software engineering fundamentals developers need when working with coding agents.
He argues that understanding full-stack architecture, data management, system design, security, reliability, and production scaling lets developers steer agents toward the right tradeoffs in latency, availability, consistency, and cost.
Without these fundamentals, vibe-coded applications often end up with poor tradeoffs the developer never anticipated.
