Factory tried having Agents execute software engineering tasks in parallel, but it didn't work, because Agents stepped on each other's changes, duplicated work, and made inconsistent architectural decisions, with coordination overhead eating up the speed gains.

UnverifiedDesign work and tasks requiring repeated iterative exploration are not suitable for the software factory, and the author still uses coding agents locally for such work; local agents and the software factory are complementary rather than a replacement.75% similarUnverifiedCurrent multi-agent collaboration faces a structural contradiction: agents are inherently bound to a single machine, and the context and plans accumulated on machine A become invalid on machine B.75% similarUnverifiedDevelopers commonly encounter three categories of problems in production deployment of agents: higher-than-expected costs, slower response speeds, and difficulty debugging long-chain tool calls73% similarUnverifiedSystems such as Devin and SWE-agent attempt to autonomously complete software engineering tasks end-to-end, but merge planning and execution within the same agent.73% similarUnverifiedIf a process can be drawn as a fixed flowchart, it likely does not need an Agent at all; only when the next step depends on the result of the previous step and involves multiple branches and failure handling does an Agent architecture show its advantages.72% similar
