alt Hacker NewsI know a few entrepreneurs and they all independently started building these kind of factories around the same time, so this is definitely not a straw-man.
I'd say give it another couple of months and you won't be able to move for announcements about this kind of thing.
The "sales pitch" is that factories are to agents what agents were to models; Personally I'm not convinced we need an extra automation layer, with all the downsides that come with even more disconnection from the product being built, but some people are starting to swear by them.
No the pitch is that you see your software development process itself as an automatable process.

With vibe coding you are already fully disconnected from the process.
With a software factory you are reconnecting yourself to the old process.
