Claims

Boris Cherny no longer manually prompts Claude; instead he writes autonomous loops that do the prompting.
The role of AI engineers is shifting from prompt crafting to loop architecture.
Cherny expects this workflow transition to become widespread across the industry by end of 2026.

Key quotes

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.
