The term feels broken when adhering to standard naming conventions, such as Mechanical Engineering or Electrical Engineering, where "Agentic Engineering" would logically refer to the engineering of agents

Yeah, Armin Ronacher has been calling it "agentic coding" which does at least make it clear that it's not a general engineering thing, but specifically a code related thing.
I think “agent engineering” could refer to the latter, if a distinction needs to be made. I do get what you’re saying, but when I heard the term, I personally understood its meaning.
Agentic Management doesn't have quite the same ring to it.
That's kind of how it feels though. I get the impression I'm micro managing various Claude code instances in multiple terminals.

Lots of things already violate it. The normal Site Reliability Engineer isn’t building the tools for Site Reliability but rather applies the tools to other software.
