most AI coding tools make one developer faster.
Factory 2.0 makes the entire engineering org smarter.
every automation, every integration, every deploy feeds back into the system.
it gets better the more you use it.
we all thought AI was going to replace engineers.
it's doing something stranger.
i build AI systems for a living, and the shift i'm seeing isn't "AI writes the code so we need fewer people."
it's that the code was never the bottleneck, the whole loop around it was: testing, shipping, monitoring, fixing.
this is the first time i've seen a company wire that entire loop into one system that runs and improves itself.
AI isn't taking the engineer's job. it's turning the job into building the system that does the job.
AI resilience isn't just a national security issue but maintaining sovereign hedges on model usage will now also be necessary for every business
Just like how enterprises can't just use one bank, they also can't use one AI provider and they're *rushing* to @FactoryAI
Phase 2๐
This is why I joined @FactoryAI. We created and named this category. Coding agents enabled individual engineers to develop faster, and software factories will enable engineering organizations at scale. The next phase is building software factories.
Anthropic wants you to believe this is a personality or political dispute. It's not.
Anthropic abandoned its safety guardrails the moment they became commercially inconvenient. It was so egregious their corporate partner--Amazon--felt compelled to blow the whistle.
Now they're deploying a team to DC to do technical cleanup. Anthropic doesn't care about safety, they care about control. This is dangerous and wrong.

The size of a company's last funding round correlates negatively with 24-month performance post-IPO.
Total amount of VC funding also correlates negatively with 24-month performance post-IPO.
This holds whether you measure from the opening prices or the day-one pop.
Anthropic's Safety Superpower
Anthropic's belief in its own commitment to safety gives the company license to aggressively favor its business and even challenge the U.S. government.
