We put a coding agent in a while loop

I'm retired from the industry, and posts like these take me back to the early days of cybersecurity (where people memorized scripts). Talking with my nephews and nieces, I can already tell that many new grads struggle with fundamentals—things like choosing the right data types and containers for short-lived strings, understanding how memory allocation works, or even marginally improving a basic hashing function. I worry the next decade will bring an influx of undertrained engineers.
