Stop Calling It Loop Engineering: Build Developer Workflows Instead
Insights from the IndyDevDan episode “FORGET Loop Engineering. Agentic Engineering is about THIS”, published July 13, 2026.
In "FORGET Loop Engineering. Agentic Engineering is about THIS" (IndyDevDan, July 2026), the term 'loop engineering' obscures the reality of building scalable AI systems. Engineers must treat AI as one component in a trio of value creation: agents, code, and human oversight.
