Autonomous AI coding agents can implement features overnight using continuous loops that break work into small tasks. The "Ralph Wiggum" technique involves iterative cycles where agents pick tasks, write code, validate changes, commit, and reset context between iterations. Key practices include maintaining AGENTS.md files for
