Trying the software factory pattern

    So I ended up doing something similar:

    - Create a Git Hub project board for issues

    - Connect Grok to the above

    - Use Grok voice mode to take ideas, have Grok refine them with me and then save them as issues

    - Created slash commands in OpenCode like /ni (new issue), /do (do an issue), /curr (what is the current issue), /done (self explanatory)

    - I generally tell the OpenCode instance to /do <number> and then off it goes

    This give me several benefits:

    - I can use Grok Voice while walking or driving to develop and test ideas

    - I can lose my entire local OpenCode setup but still have relevant data in the issues

    - multiple machines can read from GitHub

    - I could go even further and have separate user accounts for each of my bots.

    Having been both a PM, dev, SRE and manager, this really does feel like managing a team of devs.

      and do you ever look at the code afterwards? The 'software factory' gets exponentially nastier the longer it is kept running without someone with actual experience 'shoving it' back in shape ever so often ... and even then.

        Sounds like token burn maxing to me. Ie end up with a lot of “not quite” prototypes soooo try again?
