Anthropic engineer: 90% of our engineers already use self-improving loops as prompting era ends

A retweet chain surfaces a full course, "Loops and Graphs," on building Claude Code workflows.
- An Anthropic engineer claims 90% of the company's engineers already use self-improving loops for daily coding, and "prompting is basically over."
- The course builds a complete Claude Code system live from an empty terminal in 10 minutes, structured as Agents → Loops → Harness → Graphs.
- Skipping any layer makes failures resurface as "model errors," costing a week to debug.
- The pitch: stop babysitting agents step by step — loops let them iterate autonomously while graph structures manage dependencies so you only approve the final step.
