Everyone is suddenly building an AI software factory: a system where coding agents take a ticket to a verified pull request with no human in the middle. The term is from Hitachi in 1969, and this is its third revival. What strikes me about the category is how converged it already is. Devin, Factory, 8090, and FactoryKit all run the same five stages: intake, isolation, implementation, verification, PR. When four vendors independently arrive at one architecture, that usually means it's durable. What's missing is measurement. There is no public benchmark for ticket-to-merged-PR reliability across any of these products. The naming is outrunning the measuring, and buying decisions are running on demos. Full disclosure, we build one of the four, so I wrote this with the gaps in as much detail as the pitch: hashnode.com/blog/ai-softwar…

Ship it.

wrote a blog comparing the best Postman alternatives in 2026 -- what they do well, where they fall short, and which teams they're actually built for. 👇

QA has reached new heights.

the old-guard qa vendors charge enterprise prices for tests that break every release. we open-sourced one that heals itself

so close to 1k… bug0/passmark ftw

Passmark hit 500 stars. The pattern we’re seeing: qa teams are done writing locators based scripts. They want to describe the flow and move on. Building the best playwright ai library for regression testing in public. 💪

Just crossed 500 🌠 at Passmark. Help us build the most complete and comprehensive AI-regression testing library. Already merged a few PRs last week and this one. We would love to see more contributions! github.com/bug0inc/passmark

12 tonnes of KitKats stolen? Thieves took a break... My AI agent just reproduced the bug in my drawer. @KITKAT this is P0.

We now cap interviews at 2 rounds max + a short paid trial @bug0inc. Best hires we've made came from that.

I've watched the same thing happen at dozens of SaaS teams: They set up GitHub Actions. Add unit tests. CI goes green. They call it "automated testing." Then a customer reports a bug that no test caught. Because no test was looking.
