Software Factory in Public: 375 PRs in 10 Days
summary
A public factory builds Memo with no human-written code and merges 375 PRs totaling ~68,000 LOC and over 1,000 tests in 10 days; metrics show 38 minute median issue-to-close, PR open-to-merge under 5 minutes, 87% merged autonomously and 98% of agent runs auto-triggered. The pipeline uses GitHub Actions, Sentry, Storybook and Ona, plus automations like an auditor and product improver; failures are mostly taste, visual QA, and spec quality requiring tighter specs and visual verification.
