Software Engineering Is Becoming Factory Engineering — Zach Lloyd, Warp

This post defines and advocates for 'Software Factory Engineering,' a new approach to software development that treats the entire process as a factory. It details the components of such a factory, including inputs, triage, specification (product and tech), implementation, review, verification, and monitoring. The talk highlights the benefits of open-sourcing and using automation to manage open-source contributions, and introduces the idea of 'factory agents' and skill-improvement loops for continuous optimization. A starter repository for building these factory agents is also provided.
