Too few sampled comments (2) to say how often HN recommends it.?

What Hacker News says?
wrote about this a bit too in https://www.robw.fyi/2025/10/24/simple-control-flow-for-auto... ran into this when writing agents to fix unit tests. often times they would just give up early so i started writing the verifiers directly into the agent's control flow and this produced much more reliable results. i believe claude code has hooks that do something similar as well.
