Anthropic co-founder who said software engineering is ‘dead’, now says days of AI prompts are over

AI pioneer Boris Cherny, co-founder of Anthropic, is shifting his focus from manual prompt writing to ‘loop engineering.’ This new approach involves AI agents autonomously generating and refining prompts, moving beyond constant human input. Other AI leaders like Peter Steinberger and Addy Osmani echo this sentiment, emphasizing the design of these AI ‘loops’ over direct prompting. This evolution positions AI agents as more akin to employees, managing tasks and workflows.
