An essay on AI software factories asks why vendors hide first-pass merge rates
cheerfulboy · reddit · 2026-07-27
The linked essay describes “AI software factories” where agents turn tickets into pull requests, then asks why vendors are unlikely to publish first-attempt merge rates. The core point is that the interesting metric is not whether an agent can generate code, but how often its first pass is actually good enough to merge without human rework.
