"software factory" seems like the wrong analogy. Factories make identical products over and over. Software is different every time (otherwise you just copy and paste). "Software machine shop" would be closer.

that's a very interesting take! i think the market is leaning towards software factory now to describe autonomous agents in R&D and that might very well not reprensent the truth

I got my agent to fill it out for me, but it won't tell me my score!

I got a high rating because I use AI-powered auto-complete, search and CodeRabbit for MRs. I'm suspicious. Perhaps the explanations provided by the hover-overs is less than clear?

what were you expecting?

Far lower. I assumed most companies aren’t even doing that, especially with the options I was given. I was a 1 or a 2 for most things, and a few 4s as appropriate.
