Lars Grammel @lars.grammel.cloud · 24/08/2026Many software factory developers seem to assume that the factory they developed for their own project is the holy grail and that every project should use their particular workflows, agents, and prompts. 000

Reposted by Lars GrammelGergely Orosz @gergely.pragmaticengineer.com · 11/08/2026Interesting to see how any and all mid-sized and above companies who take the "AI opportunity window" seriously have all built their own internal agent platform and one or more of agentic coding harness, agent sandboxing, model hosting, evals platform Building AI infra > buying right now 11573

Lars Grammel @lars.grammel.cloud · 06/08/2026exactly the same problem with ai sdk prs imo (and most likely true for many open source projects) "Most of the work of reviewing is not simply catching bugs. A great deal of it is deciding whether this direction is a good approach, whether the PR is a good idea at all." 110

Lars Grammel @lars.grammel.cloud · 22/07/2026btw i think slopware (ai generated software where you care little about the code) is very useful for personal software, one-off software, internal tooling, prototypes, and even mvps. 010
Lars Grammel @lars.grammel.cloud · 14/07/2026some new metrics for software factories: - agent success rate (per agent) - and related: rework rate (how often things need to be redone) - automation rate: percentage of steps that are automated - wait times: times where work was waiting for human input 010
Lars Grammel @lars.grammel.cloud · 14/07/2026some existing standard metrics that should improve with software factories: - throughput: how many issues are processed per day, how many prs are landed by day - cycle time: time from creation to closure of issue - both of the above metrics could be both per project and standardized by developer 100
Lars Grammel @lars.grammel.cloud · 14/07/2026thoughts on measuring the effectiveness of a software factory there are 2 kinds of metrics: existing, standard metrics that should improve as the software factory takes on more and more work, and metrics specific to the software factory 100
Lars Grammel @lars.grammel.cloud · 13/07/2026sol medium works pretty well for most of my coding use cases so far; when does it make sense to switch to high or max? larger projects? 000
Lars Grammel @lars.grammel.cloud · 10/07/2026at that point, it is easy to loose track of the ongoing work (think herding 10+ agents in parallel), and you need a ui optimized for that 100
Lars Grammel @lars.grammel.cloud · 10/07/2026Why is a dedicated software factory UI needed? once you set up the initial pieces like sandboxing, several agents, and basic orchestration, you want to run a lot of work in parallel while ensuring the processes are followed (and supporting human-in-the-loop supervision and manual work) 100
Lars Grammel @lars.grammel.cloud · 10/07/2026Put Sol to the test and created a desktop app for managing the AI SDK software factory today. 100
Lars Grammel @lars.grammel.cloud · 07/07/2026what is the evidence that pre-built agent harnesses such as claude code or codex are superior (in terms of outcomes)? e.g. compared to using an open source harness like pi or opencode? or compared to creating a custom harness for a specific task/project? 010
Lars Grammel @lars.grammel.cloud · 03/07/2026starting to build a software factory for ai sdk. very exciting. 000
Lars Grammel @lars.grammel.cloud · 01/07/2026- No time is lost communicating on PRs (which are 95% agent authored anyways) - There is potential for much higher issue throughput / lower fix latency with a software factory 000
Lars Grammel @lars.grammel.cloud · 01/07/2026Relying on the software factory instead of community contributors has several advantages: - Maintainers know exactly which model / harness / instructions produced a pull request - Maintainers can continuously improve the (tailored) software factory 100
Lars Grammel @lars.grammel.cloud · 01/07/2026i think open source community PRs do not make sense any longer (issues are still very valuable though). why? because the cost/benefit ratio has shifted, especially as we move towards software factories for open source packages. 100

Lars Grammel @lars.grammel.cloud · 16/06/2026I might write some vscode plugins in the future to add AI in the places where I need it (but keep it from being baked into the IDE). I enjoy having a text editor / IDE with predictable editor behavior again (when I need to work with code manually). 000
Lars Grammel @lars.grammel.cloud · 16/06/2026For the IDE, I switched back to a non-AI IDE (VSCodium is VSCode minus things that are tied to MS) and use it mostly as a diff viewer and for code exploration / minor changes. vscodium.comvscodium.comVSCodium - Open Source Binaries of VSCodeFree/Libre Open Source Software Binaries of VSCode 100
Lars Grammel @lars.grammel.cloud · 16/06/2026The Codex desktop app is really good and my sense so far is that the GPT-5.5 in Codex works better than Cursor. 100
Lars Grammel @lars.grammel.cloud · 16/06/2026After the last Cursor update, I got fed up with their constant changes and increasing push towards their own models. I removed Cursor and switched to Codex plus VSCodium. 100
