This sounds nice and great and all, but I wonder what the output is like and if there is a measurable difference between doing the factory and trying to two shot the whole thing with claude 4 sonnet.

> When something goes wrong, I don’t hand-patch the generated code. I don’t argue with claude. Instead, I adjust the plan, the prompts, or the agent mix so the next run is correct by construction.

I don't think "correct by construction" means what OP thinks it means.

Also, aren't they just rolling the dice here? Can you turn down the temperature via Claude Code?

"Here’s the secret sauce: iterate the inputs":

No it isn't. There are no short cuts to ... anything. You expend a lot of input for a lot of output and I'm not too sure you understand why.

"Example: an agent once wrote code ..." - not exactly world beating.

If you believe this will take over the world, then go full on startup. YC is your oyster.

I've run my own firm for 25 years. Nothing exciting and certainly not YC excitable.

You wont with this.

You come across as a massive hater. Maybe it’s a cultural thing. Do you actually have employees?

Not a hater at all. I only expound my view from my experience. Accusing me of hate is a bit extreme.

I have 20 employees.

Cultural? Really?
