4 of the last 5 PRs I merged in the last 3 days were one-shots from a single Slack message.
Slack has become the default interface for my job. We've set up enough guardrails (hundreds, from CI checks, lint rules, security scans, e2e/unit tests, automated QA) that shipping a bug is virtually impossible here.
On the off chance the result is drifting off course, I can take over the live session from the app to steer it back into place. Just like FSD with a Tesla, but the default is auto-pilot.
Most of the time I skip manually testing. I read the droid summary, skim the code, run the preview deployment, click around a bit, or just watch the GIF the QA bot records of itself going through the app.
Last week I tagged Factory for a fix, and the PR was created, passed CI, approved, and merged in under 12 minutes. 1 min to spin up a sandbox, 3 min to code, 6 min for CI to pass and finally 2 min for review.
The software factory is real, and it is here.
