- The Coming Loop
The article argues that while 'harness loops' atop coding agents accelerate porting, experimentation, and security, they degrade code quality and comprehension, creating machine-dependent codebases.
- Why we're bullish on loops - by Ian Vanagas
Loops—self-prompting agents that autonomously complete long-running tasks using context and verification—are becoming viable due to model improvements and enable self-driving products.
- AI Agents Plunged the Tech World Into Chaos. Here’s Exactly How That Happened
Claude Code and OpenClaw sparked an AI agent revolution, transforming software development and personal productivity with autonomous coding tools.
- Coding is solved? Software is not. - Arcplane journal
AI coding tools make code generation fast, but software development remains slow due to context, specs, verification, and human judgment checkpoints.
- Anthropic: Claude quota drain not caused by cache tweaks
Anthropic changed Claude Code's prompt cache TTL from one hour to five minutes, but says it shouldn't increase costs despite users reporting faster quota depletion.
- Anthropic tries to hide Claude's AI actions. Devs hate it
Anthropic's Claude Code update hides file names in output, sparking developer backlash over lost visibility and auditability.
- The 80% Problem in Agentic Coding - by Addy Osmani
Addy Osmani argues that while AI agents now write 80% of code for early adopters, this shifts problems to "comprehension debt," where developers understand less of their own codebases.

@mvanhorn
"I don't prompt Claude anymore. I have loops running that prompt Claude and figuring out what to do. My job is to write loops. And this is transition we're going to see for the rest of the year." - Boris Cherny, head of Claude Code at Anthropic.

Boris Cherny ( @bcherny ) created Claude Code, but few know his full career story. Today I'm sharing an interview with him about how he grew as an engineer, we discussed:• Why every engineer needs "side quests"• Why being under leveled is a good thing• The story behind his… pic.twitter.com/RJ8ru70Jby
