>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.

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.

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:
