Summary
The blog post discusses the importance of implementing feedback loops for coding agents (like Claude Code and Codex) to enhance their programming capabilities. It emphasizes that without a feedback loop, developers end up being the QA, which can be frustrating. The author encourages giving agents the power to iterate on their own mistakes, aligning the process with traditional programming practices of creating, testing, and improving iteratively.
