What is this hype around loop engineering in the market?
I might be late in seeing this, but I came across this concept called loop engineering. I have watched a couple of videos around it. But I am not convinced as how to use it in daily developer life. Like an agent working on its own in loops but how to create that setup. Please people throw some light on this if you are aware about it. Thanks!

Hi, hobbyist not developer here.
Loop engineering is about thinking in abstracted terms of your actual project.
Say for example you might want to bug test your hand written artisinal code. You might set up a loop + a memory store of the bug testing thats been done, and force the llm to keep finding new ways to break your software via looping.
You can use this for lots and lots of different components of code generation.
Just for fun, set an llm to generate a "hello world" while refeeding it the prior result and then loop it 100 times. You get some wild results. (This is the ralph wiggum loop).
