Scaling & Efficiency
These guides ask what production means once agents draft the change. A code factory is a line for shipping code, with a repeated path and a definition of done. The dark-factory production piece is about the gate and the record, not about removing people. The operating-model article is about how an agent factory is organized: intake, standards, verification, and a person on the exceptions.
Read this category when efficiency is being used as a reason to skip review. The posts keep the human checkpoint. They do not publish a speed multiple or a price. Start with the code-factory definition if the word itself is fuzzy. Start with the production piece if someone is arguing that an unattended line is the same thing as a finished system.
AI-Native Operating Model for Agent Factories
Why agent factories only hit 5-6x speed with AI-native roles, spec-driven planning, and outcome governance, not just better coding tools.
What Production Means for Dark Factory Software
Dark factory software in production needs a job, a check, a human gate, and a record. This page does not claim you can drop headcount.
What Is a Code Factory? A Line for Shipping Code
A code factory is a repeatable line for changing software. How it differs from a craft shop, and what still needs a person on review.
