Michael describes what he calls - rightly or wrongly - a \"software factory\" that uses Amp as an orchestrator, GLM 5.3 agents for implementation, spec-driven development, automated code review, browser testing, and overnight agent workflows.\nThe episode wraps with a broader discussion about what AI means for software development, how it enables software for an audience of one, and whether Michael should buy the 24-port PoE switch after all.","thumbnail_url":"https://img.transistorcdn.com/mT5S1gXia4pvcxxfbLvPcwUcyvwqS6tzlMWw5Ee-v0Q/rs:fill:0:0:1/w:400/h:400/q:60/mb:500000/aHR0cHM6Ly9pbWct/dXBsb2FkLXByb2R1/Y3Rpb24udHJhbnNp/c3Rvci5mbS9zaG93/LzQ4ODMvMTU3Mjc3/NzAzNi1hcnR3b3Jr/LmpwZw.webp","thumbnail_width":300,"thumbnail_height":300}
