Ralph Wiggum: Simple AI Coding Agents Done Right
(Apologies for the audio quality in this one—tweaked some OBS settings I shouldn’t have, sounding a bit blasted. Keeping it up until I re-record!)
Discover Ralph Wiggum, a devilishly simple approach to AI coding agents that swaps complex orchestration for a basic for loop. In this video, I’ll walk you through the exact bash script I use to let Claude tackle my entire backlog overnight, how to structure tasks as a PRD, and why small changes with strong feedback loops (TypeScript, tests, CI) are essential for shipping real code. It mimics how engineers actually work: pick a task, complete it, commit, repeat. With powerhouses like Claude 3.5 Opus, simpler methods like Ralph are now viable and way more intuitive than the multi-phase planners we relied on recently.
