and build it incrementally!

You don't have to build the entire software factory at once. You don't have to mastermind the whole future system, instead you're actually stacking and layering these small, isolated problems.

I think that's a really good approach to start getting value tomorrow or this week without saying, "I'm going to revolutionize how we ship."

It's just:

1. Find places where you can use agents.

2. Figure out where the right leverage points are for humans and where the right leverage points are for agents.

3. Just start building those things and plugging them into each other.

One day you'll wake up, and 80% of all of your stuff is automated.

Totally. Also to add to that. I think (like any factory) you need to build in systems to allow you to have observe and service the machines make process changes as needed.

You're the foreman/factory manager. You can optimize the factory over time upgrade machines, place machines closer or add conveyor belts for more productivity.

The only think that slightly worries me is that the Labs are clearly incorporating the best in class logic from their datasets.
