Workroom Playtime 046: The Ralph Loop

Jan 23, 2026

This week's Workroom PlayTime is Thursday 29 January at 2:30pm London time. That's 2:30 – half past the hour.

Continuing January's Interesting Testing theme, we'll go play with a Ralph Loop – a stupid but persistent way to iterate with an LLM towards working, tested code. We'll use Exercise: The Ralph Loop. That exercise is currently very under-formed...

We'll gather on Zoom. These exercises are for everyone, for free. Subscribers get to play together every week. If you can see a joining info section below, then that gives you access to the Zoom etc. for the workshop. If you'd like to bring a friend, you can do that. I'll say yes until I've got too many.

046 will bring this short series on Interesting Testing to а close. I'll rerun the exercises and to put them in context in a longer (90-minute) session sometime in February. 047 will be the first in a series from SpeakerPrep, focussing on ideas and abstracts for conference sessions in the regular Workroom PlayTime sessions.
