Nick Perry argues manual prompting is dead and introduces Loop Engineering, a system that automates AI work by breaking tasks into subtasks, self-grading outputs, and iterating without human intervention. It treats AI like a 24/7 team that works until the job is actually done.
Never ever prompt Claude again, because even the guy who runs Claude said that he doesn't prompt it anymore. Here's why and what he does instead. See, for the last few years, the top AI skill was writing prompts. But the problem with that is you're stuck holding your AI's hand the entire time, which is why the guy who runs Claude replaced it with Loop Engineering. It's a system that prompts your AI for you. You just give it the goal and it runs on its own. It finds the work and does it using work trees and connectors. It grades its own work with subagents, so the one writing the code isn't the one checking it. It stops you from re-explaining your project every time using skills, and it runs on automation, so it goes again on its own until the job is actually done, all inside of Claude Code. Set it up like this, and it genuinely feels like you have employees working around the clock for you.
