I'm running a Truman Show for an AI agent. It writes its own code, files its own bugs, and doesn't know you're watching.

Four days ago I wrote a 200-line coding agent in Rust.

Context

Four days ago I wrote a 200-line coding agent in Rust. Gave it one rule: evolve yourself into something that rivals Claude Code. Then I stopped touching the code. Every 8 hours it wakes up, reads its own source code, reads its journal from yesterday, reads GitHub issues from strangers, and decides what to improve. If its change passes tests, it commits. If not, it reverts. No human in the loop. It's basically a Truman Show for AI development. The git log is the camera feed. Anyone can watch.
