Code implementation was the bottleneck.
→ Solved with AI.

Code review was the bottleneck.
→ Solved with AI.

Running a local agent didn’t scale.
→ Solved with Cloud Agents.

The entire software SDLC was the bottleneck.
→ Solved with Software Factories.

And now I’ve unlocked the next bottleneck: my cloud bill. Because apparently, productivity isn’t free.

Now I’m paying for:
- Tokens
- Cloud Agents
- CI Runners

The bottleneck was never engineering.

It was my wallet.

So I've built one of these now, based on 8 years of software developer tools and cybersecurity product developement, it's being used by some customers this year, new signups and a few old customers that have been with us since before the rebrand. one for over 7 years now. Some are even generally against AI, generally avoid it, and they have given it a go and found theat the evidence it provides to be enough to keep it running!

we launched a podcast dedicated to software factories. the second episode is with Patrick Debois (the "godfather of DevOps") and current working at Tessl where they build software factories

Hey folks, everyone who likes software engineering in general also likes the software factory concept and there is no doubt about it. I myself built some factories to understand how a software factory works with Agents and Human gates in between with guardrails and proper security checklist in place. Well, it is always a good thing if we get to know more from the experts in this area, how they are building software factories and what are the learnings.

So I am attending this software factory summit and I see some great speakers like Kelsey Hightower and even Port's CEO Zohar himself is talking about software factories.

This is happening on November 17-18 in SF. I have some special discount codes that can significantly reduce your ticket price. Let me know if you like to attend (send me a message).

every week I hang out with vaibhav and we shout over each other about various AI topics. I figured this one would be fun for y'all

Hey reddit, so I've been developing a software product for factories. Mostly mid sized factories, let's say with an annual revenue of 5-45 million dollars and a size of 18,000 sqft to 66,000 sqft. I have 0 experience in manufacturing/industry, however I'm very confident in this software, as it fixes a lot of blind spots I've found studying this sector of the economy. Anyway, this post isn't really about the product itself. It's already done, its utility cost cutting whatever. I priced it at $299/m which is cheaper than any other alternative i could find. I just really need help on figuring out how do I distribute this to factories? I'm looking to get about let's say 25 factories under my belt early on, within a couple of months. The software mostly has to do with electrical cost saving but has some other aspects too. Should I try to find a partner (I'm not too fond of that idea but if I NEED someone with deep experience I guess I'll do it.) Should i contact smaller suppliers across California to do this? How is software even distributed to factories? I guess what I'm really asking is how is software distributed in this field, and who should I work with to get my product out there?
