摘要#
這位奧地利開發者最為人熟知的身分，是 PSPDFKit（廣泛授權使用的 PDF SDK）的創辦人；他打造了這家公司，之後退出經營。退出後，他成為最受關注的獨立 AI 程式碼代理程式實驗者之一，以 @steipete 為帳號，分享實作工作流程，以及運用代理程式群組的心得。他創造了開源個人 AI 代理程式 OpenClaw（據 Andrew Ng 的說法），也提出了 Addy Osmani 的 Loop Engineering 文章所採用的核心觀點。
核心觀點引言#
「你不應再提示程式碼代理程式了。你應該設計能提示代理程式的迴圈。」
這是迴圈工程的起點——從「人負責提示」轉向「人負責設計迴圈」。這與 Boris Cherny 獨立得出的體悟相呼應（「我的工作是編寫迴圈」）；而 Osmani 列出的五種產品原生基礎元件，基本上就是把 Steinberger 的清單具體套用到 Codex app 和 Claude Code 上。
