Summary

A tweet sharing Lauren's talk on merging 2000 pull requests in a month, emphasizing creativity and practical workflow in software development.

Watched Lauren (@poteto)'s talk again on how she merged about 2000 PRs over the past month. This was originally a share for Cursor Compile in London, and the content is super practical. I really liked that metaphor she kept coming back to. She doesn't love the term "software factory" much; she prefers "Michelin kitchen." What we're doing is creative work, polishing products with a touch of artistry. With agents, you don't have to stir every ingredient yourself, but that final dish is still our responsibility. How the kitchen is laid out, how the line cooks and sous-chefs are matched up, whether there are more dishwashers or more chefs stirring the pots—all of that makes it into the final product. I've added full Chinese subtitles to the video. She said you can watch at 2x speed; I've compressed it to 1.5x speed for everyone here. Original video

Watched Lauren (@poteto)’s talk again on how she merged about 2000 PRs over the past month. This was originally a share for Cursor Compile in London, and the content is super practical. I really liked that metaphor she kept coming back to.

She doesn’t love the term “software factory” much; she prefers “Michelin kitchen.” What we’re doing is creative work, polishing products with a touch of artistry. With agents, you don’t have to stir every ingredient yourself, but that final dish is still our responsibility.

How the kitchen is laid out, how the line cooks and sous-chefs are matched up, whether there are more dishwashers or more chefs stirring the pots—all of that makes it into the final product.

I’ve added full Chinese subtitles to the video. She said you can watch at 2x speed; I’ve compressed it to 1.5x speed for everyone here.
