You can't unit test for taste if you haven't written down what you mean by taste. If you can externalize it, then you can.
Follow this line of thinking, and the AI-friendly answer is easy: we just have to externalize everything we know, so Claude can implement what I want.
Except that I can't fully externalize myself. Debugging a system takes more resources than running the system. If I could write down everything I know and hand it to a machine, I'd do that, but it impossible.
People aren't books or hashmaps. If you want to build something, you need to use the tools, not teach the tools to use you.
It makes me smile when runners use "X is a marathon, not a sprint" to hint at an effort that accumulates over time and an optimal use of energy.
I do it too because it's a common expression, and a marathon is of course longer than a sprint, but both have in common that properly raced, they are absolutely brutal efforts that leave you without a single additional drop at the end. The effort length and instantaneous power output changes, of course. Maybe "it's a marathon build, not the race" would be more precise at the loss of nearly all its expressive power (but with a lot more pedanticism points) :-p .

Nice project !
> For example, my native Iceland had a nice mix of nature, historical sites and populated places.
You absolutely can unit test for taste, just put an agent into loop, and write into prompt what you like. Then do scoring...
Iceland is really bad example, it basically has one populated site (capital) and circular road that goes around the island.
