"Loop engineering is replacing yourself as the person who prompts the agent. You design the system that does it instead. A loop here can be thought of a recursive goal where you define a purpose and the AI iterates until complete. I believe this may be the future of how we work with coding agents. However, its still early, I’m skeptical and you absolutely have to be careful about token costs (usage patterns can vary wildly if you are token rich or poor), so I want to unpack what it is and what..."

You don't really need to be good at prompting anymore. The thing to get good at is the loop that does the prompting for you. It's five building blocks plus s...

The new 20% time, minus the time | joe.dev

"Running a handful of agents and switching between them is its own kind of tired. Harvard Business Review has started calling it “AI brain fry”: the strain of supervising systems that move faster than you can think. It isn’t burnout. For me, burnout is feeling responsible for something you can’t affect, shoving at an immovable object. Brain fry is almost the reverse. You have all the help you could ask for, a row of agents that will do whatever you tell them, and the thing that gives out is yo..."

Attention is replacing hours. But is it 120% time all over again?

the solution might be cancelling my AI subscription

"On that last point, this technology is horrific for attention. It's a thermonuclear ADHD amplifier and I have seen the same effect in every single one of my adult friends. Folk running 3 screens simultaneously working on totally unrelated "projects" they have little hope of maintaining, and such little commitment to the outcome that the time is obviously wasted."

"I'm hopeful that the critical skill to develop here is discipline. That’s not great news for me: I’ve been trying to figure that one out for decades!"

I find this post by David Wilson very relatable. David lists 16+ projects he's spun up with AI tooling, and concludes: I didn't mean to build most of these things. …

It's incredible to look at all the possibilities with generating code, also in other languages and eco-systems. Even though I've mostly programmed in Python in my career, I've generated way more frontend code and was close to becoming a .NET developer because of #AI #codegen

The Emacsification of Software — Quarrelsome

"If you’re a nerd comfortable with the idea of rolling your own software, everything is now programmable, not merely in a technical sense but a practical one. And that gets to a feeling I think a lot of people have when creating software with agents: what does it mean to say you’re “building” it? “Building” implies more effort than you’re expending. What you’re doing feels a lot more like configuring, on a platform that has suddenly become vastly more configurable. A platform that feels a lot ..."

Software engineering may no longer be a lifetime career

"If AI does turn out to make you dumber, why can’t we just keep writing code by hand? You can! You just might not be able to earn a salary doing so, for the same reason that there aren’t many jobs out there for carpenters who refuse to use power tools. If the models are good enough, you will simply get outcompeted by engineers willing to trade their long-term cognitive ability for a short-term lucrative career3."
