Loops are Replacing Prompts. Verification is About to Be Your Biggest Problem.

Arjun Iyer · Jun 21

Three eras of AI coding — prompt-driven, spec-driven, loop-driven — and why verification becomes the binding constraint as the human moves up a level each era. Loop economics: total cost = iterations-to-verified × cost-per-iteration.

You Shouldn't Be Prompting Coding Agents Anymore — Design Loops

@steipete · Jun 21

Peter Steinberger's Jun 8 tweet (6.5M views) seeded the loop-engineering naming wave: stop prompting agents, design loops that prompt your agents. The origin post that Osmani's essay, Cherny's post, and the entire June 2026 discourse cite.

Loop Engineering

Addy Osmani · Jun 21

Addy Osmani names and defines loop engineering: replacing yourself as the person who prompts the agent — you design the system that does it instead. The shift: you held the tool (type → read → type). Now you build a small system that finds the work, hands it out, checks it, and decides the next thing.
