| >Loop engineering” is a hot buzzphrase after mentions of it by Boris Cherny (Claude Code’s creator) and Peter Steinberger (OpenClaw's creator) went viral on social media. Just adding that context here. At a WorkOS event discussion on the 2nd of June, Boris Cherny said: > I don't prompt Claude anymore. I have loops that are running. They're the ones that are prompting Claude and figuring out what to do. My job is to write loops. https://m.youtube.com/watch?v=RkQQ7WEor7w&time_continue=704 This is then Peter Steinberger's tweet on the 7th of June: > Here’s your monthly reminder that you shouldn’t be prompting coding agents anymore. You should be designing loops that prompt your agents. and the immediate response from Gautham Pai: > Oh god, LinkedIn will now start a new fad, "Loop Engineering". Harness Engineering is so last year. Loop Engineering is what you should be doing. https://xcancel.com/steipete/status/2063697162748260627 And then Addy Osmani quickly wrote a post about it on the day which triggered a discussion here: https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=48514387 And there was another interesting discussion here about Armin Rochar's more critical take on loops a few days ago: https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=48643180 |
