Summary
This post defines a software factory as a repeatable, event-driven loop around software work and argues that human judgment is relocated rather than removed within it — upstream to product intent, system design and the quality bar, and downstream to evidence, risk and ownership of what ships. Drawing on the author’s own sample factory, it discusses when a stock coding harness is enough, how green checks can mislead, a verification budget that places fast deterministic checks early and heavier ones later, classifying runs that do not ship, and the comprehension cost of parallel agent work.
