> The factory of the future isn’t a coding agent, an IDE plugin, or a model API. It’s a full-stack service that accepts a spec from a brand and delivers running software continuously. That means model orchestration, code creation, hosting, implementation, testing, deployment, monitoring, maintenance, evolution. End to end.

It exists for decades and it sucks. You send your specs, the company forward it to a bunch of indians, the work is done, you pay. You missed something. You send new specs, the company forward it to a bunch of indians, the work is done, you pay.

Evolution ? Bug fix ? You got it. Price went up, because why not. You have no other options than to pay or to not fix the bug / have the new feature.

Bug/feature are now competing with the business directly: fixing this bug will cost us that amount. What is the ROI ?

Bugs are not fixed. Features are not implemented. Products dies. Let's make a big project to replace everything with another company (which send the specs to the same indians ..)

Been like that for decades, nothing new.
