From Human to Agent: Why DevSecOps Platforms Must Restructure for AI-Native Software Factories

The article argues that DevSecOps platforms should be restructured — not replaced — to serve AI agents as primary users, with MCP as the first interface, UIs becoming governance consoles, and agent capabilities managed as versioned assets, especially in regulated industries requiring compliance evidence.

Do You Really Need a Software Factory? Insights from an AI‑Powered Development Experiment

Addy Osmani’s extensive 82‑minute case study shows that while Claude Code or Codex can handle most routine tasks, a full‑blown software factory is only justified for high‑risk, multi‑agent hand‑offs, strict consistency requirements, and when robust verification and human ownership are essential.
