Why Software Factories Fail
Fast development with AI often leads to a decline in code quality, as automated systems generate more defects and reduce the rigor of code reviews. The shift towards “lights-off” software factories, which limit human oversight, does not result in the expected efficiencies, as models struggle to maintain the codebase's quality over time. Maintaining human involvement in planning and reviewing code is still necessary for long-term software sustainability.
