Differential oracle technique boosts trust in AI coding agents
A self-taught engineer built a differential oracle that cross-checks two independent implementations of the same game logic to catch bugs AI coding agents might miss. The system runs invariant tests over ~9k random boards and has caught real bugs that manual testing would not find. The approach is part of a larger autonomous dev harness with a self-reviewing loop and human-in-the-loop approval.

The technique is clever but niche; its real value is as a proof-of-concept for agentic code evaluation, not a production-ready solution.
