What is loop engineering? AI agents that run themselves!

Most developers are already running a while loop in their heads. Write a prompt, read the response, decide what to do next, repeat. Loop engineering takes that loop out of your head and puts it into code.

In this video, we cover AI agent loop engineering in #ClaudeCode — five building blocks, three timescales, and the gotchas that will bite you if you're not paying attention. Boris Cherny at Anthropic put it well: "I don't prompt Claude anymore. I have loops running that prompt Claude."
