You Don’t Need the Best Model. You Need a Better Loop.
There is a common assumption in AI-assisted software development: if the result is not good enough, you need a stronger model. My latest experiment suggests something different.
Claude Code Loops: Automation Is Not Intelligence
Claude Code loops can reduce micromanagement by allowing an AI agent to implement, test, debug, and repeat autonomously. But repetition alone does not produce better software. Without reliable verification, strict boundaries, and explicit stopping conditions, loops primarily automate assumptions—including incorrect ones.
