YMMV but I think with the SOTA models building a token efficient engineering loop is absolutely doable with (imho) solid development and testing practices. I see no reason to buy a 3rd party system for this either. I'm not in enterprise so don't come at me here - I'm a small shop and I'm not trying to corral 100 devs or whatever. We've got linear boards getting cards pushed and pulled, debated over by multiple models, coded, debated, tested, accepted, etc etc. True software factories now exist and they don't screw up the login.

That statement somehow amazes me. Obviously, LLMs need plenty of steering, but I don't get how a company can be built on that.
Small companies doing consulting certainly could. My use of the term "software factory" really implies a lot of automation in turning out useful tools for internal and external customers.
