ClaudeCode lead Boris Cherny stated that his work now involves writing systematic looping logic rather than individual prompts
Boris Cherny, the creator of Claude Code, advises users to periodically delete the CLAUDE.md file, skills, and hooks to see what the model can do on its own.
Boris advises adding deleted instructions back only when the model is seen repeatedly getting stuck on the same thing.
The core principle of context engineering optimization is to retain all information specific to the user's situation and remove restrictive rules.
Boris's advice is aimed at startup engineers with leisure time for experimentation who work in highly technical fields, and is of limited direct use to non-technical users.
The concept of Loop Engineering was proposed by OpenAI's Boris Cherny and others, as well as the core developers of Claude Code.
Anthropic's Boris Cherny and his team published the AI-Native SDLC Handbook.
Anthropic engineer Boris Cherny argues that code written by Claude and deployed to production should be subject to a higher bar of scrutiny than code written by humans.
Boris Cherny warns that without these guardrail mechanisms, the end result will likely be a mess that is difficult to maintain over the long term.
This statement by Boris Cherny has been reprinted and cited by industry observers such as Simon Willison.
