The Ralph Wiggum Approach: Running AI Coding Agents for Hours (Not Minutes)
SMRTR summary
Ralph Wiggum is a development methodology that runs AI coding agents in iterative loops instead of one-shot attempts. The technique repeatedly feeds an agent the same prompt, letting it see previous work via git history and improve incrementally until completion criteria are met. Early adopters report shipping complex projects overnight, including full compilers and API migrations, though success requires clear completion criteria and careful cost management.
