## What Jamie wrote

This is mostly notable because it is from the author of Claude Code and I think his "thinking loop" is worth noting.

> 1. Understand the available information
> 2. Gather missing information
> 3. Define the problem
> 4. Define a clear and simple approach to solve the problem
> 5. Define a goal
> 6. Act with urgency to achieve the goal

Funny enough, I recently did an extended session with Claude Code using a thinking loop with execution in the middle to move a project forward. Very similar to what Cherny describes.
