Recently I heard a term "Software factory" - I am strongly rooting with this term, particularly while working with agents and AI. Heard from Vercel, Guillermo.
"The (software) factory is the product. Your product is only as good as the agents you set up to autonomously maintain it." https://x.com/rauchg/status/2081123293340520642?s=20
Mechanized production was designed by people to produce commodities and was designed with planned tradeoffs, tolerances, and failure modes. That’s not what agents are, though I get why an analogy to the Industrial Revolution is useful for CEOs.
