And here's how they summed it up.

Step one, write a detailed PRD.

That's a product requirements document, which is a document that defines the purpose, features, functionality, and behavior of any new project or feature.

It's going to define why the product is being built, what success looks like, detailed requirements of what it should do, things like that.

Now, after you write that detailed PRD, you're going to convert it to extremely small, discrete, atomic, to use their words, user stories.

Step three is that for each of those atomic units, you add clear acceptance criteria.

Step four is looping your AI agent through each story.

In step five, it logs learning so it doesn't repeat mistakes.

Step six, the person who initiated the Ralph loop wakes up, tests it, and fixes the edge cases.

Basically the idea is to break down a complex project into very discrete smaller units that the coding agent can take on one by one, testing and looping until it's finished and moving on to the next.

Now, people are still experimenting with this and figuring out the limits of the methodology, but the excitement on the other side is captured once again by Ryan in a post called How to Grow Your Startup While You Sleep.

And that really is the thing that people are so excited about.

The idea of shifting to a paradigm where we've got agents just working for us in the background, meaningfully advancing the goals that we have.

And yet, over the last week, and especially weekend, the discussion has shifted from Ralph to something called Claudebot, where the corresponding interests, believe it or not, in Mac minis.

Viral memes abound, like this one from Flavio.

Mom, how did we get so rich?

Your father bought a Mac mini to run Claudebot in 2026.

So what the hell is Claudebot?

If you want to follow along at home, you can find this at C-L-A-W-D dot bot, which describes Claudebot as the AI that actually does things.
