Patrick Erichsen(@Pat_Erichsen):this paper has fundamentally changed how i view agentic software engineering. so much of the current discourse is what the next 3-6mo looks like, but Ty and the Disintegrator folks have managed to zoom out and paint a clear thesis as to what the next 3-6 years might look like. my favorite takeaway from the paper was the "neurotic governor" - the idea that the output of a software factory is limited by the "neurotic governor's" need to understand all the outputs
