I think a 'software factory' is an attempt to align development with your own internal mental model. People have got a sniff of being able to have magic powers, where their thoughts can align 1:1 with some type of output.

If you try and one shot stuff, you're going to get a smell of the LLM, but if you build an entire ecosystem of development, it's going to be something a little more unique to know you are and what you know.

I think we're going to see some huge changes in language, in how we learn, present, build and design things. As these millions of 'software factories' start maturing and competing, we're going to see some interesting standardisations win out.

It should be applauded that people want to push capabilties of their new toys to the max. I wonder if some people are also scared about the golden age of LLMs coming to an end soon, and want to dig a huge moat ASAP, too... The more you can get deterministic tools and frameworks up and running, the less at mercy you're going to be in the future to huge AI companies.
