Explore four common errors that every developer should watch out for when building loop engineering projects, and practical strategies to mitigate them. In this video, the team breaks down why runaway loops burn tokens, how unverified autonomy leads to confirmation bias, why vague goals cause models to fail, and when developers need to transition from single loops to multi-node graph engineering.

Tell us in the comments below if you've experienced any loop failures!
