This is a transcript of my sharing at the Data & AI Meetup organized by Databend, held at the PingCAP office on Saturday afternoon (2026.06.06): How I evolved from a traditional programming craftsman to a “factory director” of an AI software factory.
That afternoon, PingCAP released an enterprise agent collaboration product: LOOP.
Some friends mentioned that there are now over 100 similar products on the market.
On the surface, it might seem like these products are homogeneous, but in reality, the atmosphere of the times has arrived. It’s not that everyone is following the vibe; there is genuine demand here, forming a certain consensus, though the specific product philosophies differ.
My talk reviewed my AI Coding evolution over the past three years, tracing step by step how AI Coding has evolved to the current atmosphere.
I hope you won’t feel a chill down your spine after reading it.

First, let me say something counterintuitive to the point you might not believe...
This article discusses common reasons for the failure of enterprise AI projects from proof-of-concept to production deployment, highlighting key practices such as MLOps, early inspection of real data, and clear human-machine boundaries.
