Factory 2.0: From coding agents to software factories
Factory argues that the future of engineering is building autonomous 'software factories' rather than just writing code.
What: Factory is promoting a model where software engineering teams pivot toward building and maintaining autonomous code-generating systems to scale development capacity within large organizations.
Why it matters: This signifies a transition where the primary skill for senior engineers is becoming systems integration for AI agents, effectively automating the 'labor' of coding to focus on architectural oversight.
Original article
Factory has been building software factories with its customers over the last few months. Its software factories are already in production across the world's largest organizations. Organizations that invest in their autonomous software development will see engineering outcomes surge. Engineers in this era are now responsible for building the factories that build the software. This will see engineering responsibilities grow to span across the business itself.
