nnennahacks published a blog post on 'software factories' — agentic systems that repeatedly turn engineering intent into verifiable, shippable, operable software.
Key points:
- Many organizations are far from making software factories a dependable delivery mechanism, and not every org needs one — the investment must match the problems being solved
- The author spent months on open-source projects mapping the controls around agent harnesses, asking what a system needs as agents take on more software delivery responsibility
- Covers graph engineering, loops, and related technical machinery
