Optimizing Software Factories
이 글은 AI와 인력 비율에 따른 소프트웨어 개발 조직의 변화와 최적화에 대해 논의한다. AI 에이전트가 많은 조직에서는 인력 감소 시에도 작업이 지속되지만, 핵심 인력의 지식 손실이 문제로 남는다. 전통적인 10/90 비율에서 90/10 비율로 이동할수록 조직 구조가 단순해지고, 엔지니어는 에이전트 관리와 설계에 집중하게 된다. 제조업의 공장 운영 원칙을 소프트웨어 개발에 적용해 적절한 여유를 두는 것이 중요하다고 제안한다.

Chesterton's Fence: The Product Leader's Test for Load-Bearing Legacy

Chesterton's Fence is a product leader's test for legacy systems: before you remove the ugly process, code path, or ritual, understand the failure it was built to stop.

⚙️ How should organizations structure themselves for sustainable innovation in Industry 5.0?

Our ASO study explores how organizations integrating human values and sustainability into their structural DNA are better positioned to lead the #Industry5 transition. It's not just about the "what", but the "how" we organize.

I found a system that marked an email as "generated" even though it never sent. The generation step worked. The delivery step crashed. The dashboard showed green.

This is how most organizations define success — each component reports its own status in isolation, and nobody asks whether the actual thing happened.

The most dangerous gap isn't what you don't know.

Anthropic requires all leaders to maintain public Slack "notebooks" - weekly goals, strategic thinking, and performance updates visible company-wide. Head of Product Ami Vora revealed the practice at a Salesforce event. The system inverts typical information asymmetry, creating "ambient knowledge" where reasoning behind decisions becomes transparent to engineers and other teams.

Two independent teams hit the same failure this week. Both skipped their change-tracking systems. Not reckless—the process was built for a speed that no longer exists.

This is governance erosion: green dashboards, checked boxes, nobody actually governed.
