+Scott and Wes talk with Adam Jacob about software factories: what they actually are, why they're unique to each team, and how to build trust in agent-generated code. They dig into Swamp Club, black box testing, domain driven design, adversarial review for accessibility, and whether unit tests still earn their keep.
