The missing piece for dark software factories
For dark software factories to work, they have to be incredibly good at producing reliable software. Generating code is only part of that problem.
We've solved versions of this problem before. C gave us a compiler. We still had to wire together build systems, manage dependencies, set up test runners, and package releases. Go, Cargo, uv, and Bun brought more of that work into cohesive toolchains, reducing what developers had to hold together themselves.
Today, agents inherit the next pile of disconnected pieces: telemetry, error reporting, analytics, and feature flags. Humans still have to steer them from "something broke" to "we know this change helped."
The missing piece is a toolchain that closes that loop. Until a factory can learn from what it ships, we're automating code generation, not the software lifecycle. 🐑
