Summary
The article argues that AI coding should use specialized agents in loops with bounded retry and human approval, rather than a single super-agent, emphasizing workflow engineering over agent intelligence.

The future of AI coding is NOT one super-agent.
It’s agent loops.
One agent shouldn’t:
Plan Code Test Review Monitor CI
Those are different jobs.
My coding setup splits them across specialized agents, with bounded retry loops and only two human-approval gates.
The biggest lesson?
The quality of an AI software factory isn’t determined by how smart your coding agent is…
It’s determined by how well you engineer the workflow around it.

This article introduces the concept of Loop Engineering — instead of directly writing prompts for AI agents, it designs a system (loop) that recursively lets the agent iterate on tasks until completion. The article provides a detailed comparison of how Claude Code and Codex implement five building blocks: automations, worktrees, skills, sub-agents, etc. It suggests this could be the future trend of collaborating with coding agents, but also warns about token costs and AI slop issues.
Are AI coding agents hitting a wall, or are we just measuring them wrong?
This article examines the gap between hype and reality for AI coding agents, arguing that they are effective for accelerating workflow parts but still require human oversight for architecture, debugging, and review, and questioning whether current benchmarks measure the right things.
AI is eating the AI Engineering Loop (5 minute read)
The article discusses how the AI engineering loop can be fully automated but argues that handing over the entire loop produces 'agent slop' due to imperfect evals. It recommends automating certain steps while keeping human judgment for nuance.
