Superplane - an open source software factory 🔥 Launched by my good friend and ex-coworker @darkofabijan They have crazy big customers already Kudos on going public 🙌
Last month, 52% of the pull requests our team merged were automated through SuperPlane. Today, we’re launching @superplanehq 1.0: an open source software factory for engineering teams. We built it because using a coding agent can feel like becoming its assistant. Starting sessions. Checking its work. Chasing failing CI. SuperPlane takes on that coordination: - Scans your backlog and proactively picks up tickets suited to automation. - Runs a coding agent and verifies the result. Works through CI failures and review feedback. - Your team reviews the evidence and decides what ships. The setup, instructions, and standards are shared across the team. When someone improves the process, everyone benefits. Choose your agents and models. Run it on your own infrastructure. We spent more than a decade building CI/CD at Semaphore. We’ve seen how much teams can accomplish when routine work runs reliably in the background. Now we’re bringing that approach to coding agents. Here’s how it works:

we just open sourced the software factory that merged more of our PRs than we did

52% of the PRs our team merged over the last month went through @superplanehq software factory. Our engineers kept the same workload, because the factory runs in parallel with them. That ~doubled the PRs we merged. Excited to ship 1.0 this week.

Compute is the spice of AI era.

As we saw at @semaphoreci, CI adoption was the fastest when it understood the repo right off the bat. Software factories will spread the same way. If the agents can't plug into the checks and approvals a team already trusts, the factory turns into yet another abandoned side project.

many people can cook but 2.3 billion people order restaurant meals online
Replying to @avithaldas
We spend $20m+/year improving Todoist with some of the world's most skilled people. And we are probably much more proficient with AI than most vibe coders. People greatly underestimate how hard it is to create truly great products. It's like food: many people can cook, but not at a Michelin level.

this feels backwards: my @bot wants to just do things but @github wants human in the loop

LLMs haven’t changed that writing is still the best way for me to find out whether I actually understand what I’m on about.
i’ve been doing a lot of writing lately. it helps.

Agreed. This is why @superplanehq factory runs agents in deterministic verification loops before declaring work as ready for review.
If the verification in your software factory is prompting another agent, you don't have verification. Agents cannot verify xitter.cf/DominikTornow/status/2…

Spoke with a team who told me they try to cap PRs at 500 lines and keep failing. Some cap makes sense to avoid slop grenades. LoC is the easiest thing to measure but questionable in effect. What I care about is whether a human can understand the change and roll it back. Which is what Continuous Delivery's small batches were always about. markoanastasov.com/signals/s…

just learned you can set Dark Reader to only run on specific sites. added Gmail and finally have dark emails without messing with every other website. Site list → “Invert listed only” → mail(.)google(.)com

people have ideas and want to get them into the hands of users as quickly, efficiently and cheaply as possible this is the point of a software factory
