Loop Engineering: optimizing code generation and verification loops for AI coding
bradleygibbs · hn · 2026-10-11
Bradley Gibbs's long-form post Loop Engineering: Optimizing Code Generation and Verification argues for treating AI code generation as an iterative generate-verify loop rather than a single call: structuring work around automatable verification (tests, type checks, review feedback) and optimizing each stage of the loop to make agent output more reliable. Details and data in the original article.
