The battle to replace Github, building assembly lines for software, and why no one finishes projects anymore
Notes de l’épisode
When an AI can write 90 percent of a codebase in minutes, why is finishing the project harder than ever? This week on the Friday Deploy, Ben and Andrew explore the recent string of GitHub outages and why the surge in autonomous agents is forcing teams to rethink where they host their code. They once again dive into the emerging trend of software factories, breaking down how engineering leaders are turning chaotic AI pull requests into streamlined assembly lines. Finally, they share tactical advice for "landing the plane" and pushing past scope creep to deliver the grueling final fraction of any major initiative.
