summary

Covers building autonomous coding agents that run persistent iteration cycles (the “Ralph Wiggum” method) using LLMs to self-correct via backpressure so tasks keep retrying until complete. Describes prompt structuring, patterns for converting test failures into actionable feedback for the agent, and practical guidance on when agentic engineering succeeds or fails for real development work.
