The guy who kicked off the entire "loop engineering" wave Peter Steinberger:
"You shouldn't be prompting coding agents anymore. You should be designing loops that prompt your agents."
One post. 6.5M views in a week.
In this talk he walks the real stack: the agent loop, a verifier that fails its own work and retries, and a loop that rewrites the agent while he sleeps.
Worth more than any $500 vibe-coding course.
Watch it, then read the full breakdown of the 4 loops below.
Claude can now make your entire codebase self-explaining 🤯
It maps your app into:
→ an interactive HTML architecture view for humans
→ a structured JSON memory file for AI agents
The next coding agent instantly understands: APIs, components, dependencies, database flows, auth, background jobs — everything.
No more throwing AI into a random repo with zero context.
Your codebase literally explains itself now.
A software engineer at Atlassian got laid off in March after 8 years. His response: a 38-minute YouTube video showing how the company's entire tech works, free for anyone to copy. That same quarter, Atlassian's revenue hit $1.79 billion, a record.
His name is Vasilios Syrakis. He worked in Sydney on Atlassian's digital plumbing: the system that handles the company's web traffic, made up of about 2,000 programs running across 13 regions of the world. Every time someone clicks on Atlassian's software, the system Syrakis worked on decides which of those servers answers. Atlassian's own engineering blog wrote about his team's work in February 2025. On Sunday, Syrakis walked through the whole architecture on YouTube, every box on the diagram.
The financial picture doesn't fit the layoff story. Atlassian's cloud business grew 29% year over year last quarter. The company has 350,000 customers, including 80% of the Fortune 500. None of that looks like a company that needs to cut a tenth of its staff to "self-fund AI investment," as the CEO put it in March.
In the six months before the layoffs, CEO Mike Cannon-Brookes sold 866,145 of his own shares for roughly $134 million. Co-founder Scott Farquhar sold exactly the same number on the same schedule. The board also approved spending $2.5 billion to buy back Atlassian stock from the market, a move that props up the share price. The shares still fell 56% this year. Investors think AI lets companies do more work with fewer employees, and Atlassian charges its customers per employee.
Sam Altman called this practice "AI washing" in February. Of the 1.2 million American jobs cut in 2025, only 55,000 blamed AI. The rest had different reasons, or none at all. The engineer who helped build Atlassian's plumbing is now teaching the internet how it works, for free, because he no longer has a paycheck to protect.
