Less Prompting, More Loop Engineering

The author argues that Claude has "melted many people's brains" and cautions against delegating too much daily work entirely to it.
The core recommendation is to prioritize loop engineering over merely tweaking prompts repeatedly. By breaking tasks down into more stable loops, feedback cycles, and verification mechanisms, users can spend less time staring at the model "thinking".
