YHK - yet another hacker news clone

Why would they use Notion in a system like this?

Seems like setting yourself up to have a massive pile of janky cruft.

My team is in the agentic orchestrator phase. I like this software factory pattern in concept, but our biggest challenges in development are acceptance testing of anything UI-related. Mobile app testing in particular is still a huge bottleneck that requires a human. AI models really suck at identifying poor usability and jank, particularly because they only typically process snapshots of the app from an instance in time.

I know there are traditional testing frameworks that can detect jitter and frame drop to a certain level. We could potentially start having agents build that in.

If we had concrete designs and specs on every project, that would also be helpful, but in a fast-moving startup, that gets delegated to the builders. That puts a human back in the loop every time.

Curious to hear what anyone else does to fully adopt a software factory pattern.

Missed the part in July when the token bill starts rolling in

May I ask what you’re making that somehow is improved by turning everyone into chat bot controllers?

Are there known examples of software where the "software factory pattern" (an incorrect term, given that it's not a pattern but a workflow. Or rather an idea. A hope. A wish.) proved to work long-term?

Preferably ones that I could validate myself instead of just having to take someone's word for it.

Have you produced anything shippable AND maintainable?
