"The book that builds an AI coding agent. The agent that builds the next edition."

Really?

Yes. Simply clone the repo and give it to Astra, Opus, or Fable. Really.

It's real. Each iteration through the loop, is the quality increasing or degenerating?

That's partly why I switched from Go to C# in the 3rd edition (third time executing the book, including the first time when I pair-programed with the AI to created it).

The quality of the codebook is either improving ore degrading. I believe so far, I've managed improving.

It isn't IQ collapse. Madness, possibly.
