Matt Pocock: GitHub Actions is the easiest way to start with software factories
mattpocockuk · x · 2026-10-02
Developer educator Matt Pocock lays out why GitHub Actions is a great entry point to building "software factories": free sandboxes for public repos, an existing auth system, issues as agent tickets, labels triggering Actions that create PRs (and can apply labels to create loops), cron jobs for daily runs, and built-in observability. He recommends experimenting here before building on your own infrastructure.
