Our readingThe valuable form of loop engineering is a slow loop — a nightly cron job that fixes one thing and opens one pull request — not a redesign of your whole infrastructure around agents.

Their wordsSo I think the the thing I'm most excited is actually like what we call like iterated loops or like slow loops where we basically have a cron job. We have the loop the the the structure of the loop is really easy. It's like run this llinter fix one thing commit and push and then we run that every night in our GitHub actions and we wake up every morning to one PR that makes the codebase a little bit better.
