I find simple Ralph loops with an implementer and a reviewer that repeat until everything passes review and unit tests is 90% of the job.
I would love to do something more sophisticated but it's ironic that when I played both agents in this loop over the past few decades, the loop got faster and faster as computers got faster and faster. Now I'm back to waiting on agentic loops just like I used to wait for compilations on large code bases.
Curious what you mean by "played both agents" and "faster and faster"? API calls are API Calls or are you running an open-source model locally?
Rephrasing of the post in case it's clearer:
"I would love to do something more sophisticated, but it's ironic that when I performed both of the duties done nowadays by agents, the development loop got faster and faster as computers got faster and faster."
For context and curiosity, are you using local inference? Which models?
