Beyond coding agents: a 6-layer roadmap to building autonomous software factories
MaryamMiradi · x · 2026-09-29
Maryam Miradi argues that a swarm of coding agents is still not a software factory — generating code is only part of software engineering. The harder problem is the system around agents that decides what to build, executes, proves it works, and improves.
Her 6-layer roadmap starts with:
- Signals & Prioritization: turn user feedback, logs, incidents and tickets into executable work worth agent time.
- Orchestration: break missions into bounded tasks, assign to specialized agents, coordinate sequential/parallel execution — orchestrator → workers → validators.
(remainder of the thread is truncated in the source) Core thesis: real AI engineering is building the factory around agents, not adding more agents.
