How to Build a Software Factory with Claude Code: From Vibe Coding to Agentic Development
SMRTR summary
Something surprising is happening in software development: the smarter AI coding tools become, the more chaotic the workflow around them can get.
Tools like Claude Code, Cursor, and Copilot have moved far beyond simple autocomplete. They can now read your codebase, edit multiple files, run tests, and draft pull request summaries. For small tasks, this feels almost magical.
But ask one of these tools to build a complete feature, and cracks appear. A single AI session gets overloaded, playing product analyst, architect, backend engineer, and reviewer all at once. Wrong assumptions early in the conversation quietly spread through dozens of files.
The fix, according to London-based tech lead Qudrat Ullah, is not better prompting. It is a better system. He proposes building what he calls a "software factory," a small set of specialized AI agents, each handling a focused job, coordinated by an orchestrator.
The insight here is simple but powerful: AI accelerates whatever structure already exists. If that structure is weak, AI just makes the mess faster.
