Yes, Strong DM. How is that different from tokenmaxxing? Because of the article you wrote, a few companies went to them and starting adopting their methods and guess what happened in a few weeks into that process? Upper management started tracking engineers who weren't using AI enough (~1k a day). A few engineers got fired because they were slow to adopt StrongDM's process.
Have you really seen engineers fired for failing to spend $1,000 on tokens a day because their bosses read my piece about Strong DM? https://simonwillison.net/2026/Feb/7/software-factory/
I would hope that my commentary on those patterns would be less likely to lead to bad decisions than if people just read Strong DM's own description of their software factory approach: https://factory.strongdm.ai/
