Prompt Era vs Loop Era
Prompt Engineering
2023-2025
●
Perfect single instruction
●
Static, one-shot
●
Scarce skill
Agentic Loops
2025-2026
●
Self-feedback cycles
●
Tool use, ReAct pattern
●
Reusable asset
Autonomy vs Its Limits
Upside
●
Large refactors
●
Automated test updates
●
Extended debugging
Caution
●
High token costs
●
Human-in-loop safer
●
Hype vs practice debate
Engineering the Process Itself
AI NEWS BLITZ
AI builders are shifting focus from prompt engineering to self-running agentic loops.
