I welcome Ras Mic back to the pod to explain the phrase "software factory." Mic shares his screen and walks through the exact system that he runs today. His factory has four steps: isolate, build, prove, and ship. He keeps the whole system in five or six markdown files, so it works with any model and any harness. By the end of this episode, you can boot up your own factory, run many agents in parallel, and trust the code that comes back.

Key Points
- A software factory is a workflow of skills and domain knowledge, so it runs with any model and any harness.
- Isolate: every feature starts in a fresh git work tree branched from origin main, so each agent keeps its own station.
- Build: a code structure skill makes the agent write service layer code that a human developer can read.
- Prove: the agent records a before state and an after state as video, screenshots, or numbers.
- Ship: Greptile scores the PR, and the agent loops back to build until it earns five out of five.
- Mic runs up to 15 features in parallel and reviews the visual proof instead of the raw code.
