A book series
Know the Craft™
AI is crafting, and you should know the craft to judge.
Like a building inspector: you don’t have to lay every brick, but you must know how it should be built. These books teach the operations of software construction, the ways each one can be done, and how each fails, so you can direct an AI coding agent and judge what it builds.
