[0:00] A new coding meta just dropped. Over
[0:02] this past weekend, everybody started
[0:05] talking about loops. The two main
[0:07] characters in the world of AI coding
[0:08] talked about it at the same time. Peter
[0:11] Steinberger and Boris Cherny. Here is an
[0:14] interview from Boris that went
[0:15] absolutely viral.
[0:16] >> I don't prompt Claude anymore. I have
[0:18] loops that are running. They're the ones
[0:20] that are prompting Claude and kind of
[0:21] figuring out what to do. My job is to
[0:23] write loops.
[0:24] >> And here's Peter's tweet sitting at 5
[0:26] million views in less than 24 hours.
[0:28] Here's your monthly reminder that you
[0:29] shouldn't be prompting coding agents
[0:31] anymore. You should be designing loops
[0:33] that prompt your agents. So, what is a
[0:36] loop? Why is suddenly everybody talking
[0:39] about it and why are there only a
[0:41] handful of people in the entire world
[0:43] who know actually what it is and how to
[0:45] use it. This is the future of software
[0:48] engineering, but most people won't be
[0:50] able to do it today. But if you want to
[0:52] be at the absolute frontier of coding,
[0:56] I'm going to show you how. And if you
[0:57] like when I explain the latest in
[0:59] engineering strategy, like this video
[1:02] and subscribe. It very much does help.
[1:04] Thank you in advance. And by the way,
[1:06] this video is sponsored by here.now.
[1:07] More on them later. All right, so what
[1:09] is a loop? If you've ever done agentic
[1:12] engineering or vibe coding before, you
[1:14] know the workflow. You prompt your
[1:16] agent, your agent writes the code for
[1:19] you, you wait for it to be done, and
[1:21] then you prompt it again. Loops are what
[1:23] change this. Rather tha
