Fabric and The Ralph Wiggum approach

[gautaz]

Hello,

I have recentlly stumbled on this article dubbed The Death of Software Development which led me to this post about something the author calls The Ralph Wiggum approach.

I was wondering if this kind of looping with one or multiple AI agent is something that can already be done with Fabric and how.
I am quite new to Fabric so my apology if the idea can already be marked as "old" 🙂.

It's possible to do with code2context and the create_coding_feature pattern, but it feels kludgy to me.

Essentially, you'd have to use --session to keep a running session so the LLM would be able to keep track of its context,
and have some logic in there about all the gates that the software has to pass, and you'd have to iterate on that (till done or till you hit the maximum number of iterations).

You might be better off setting up Maestro and using its Auto Run feature - That is a great harness for doing exactly the kind of things you're asking about.

I didn't know Maestro, looking at the description, it seems in fact a better fit for the job.
Thanks @ksylvan for the tip, you're right, use the right tool for the right job 😄.
