Overnight on lifebuild.me I asked Codex to:
- Swap out my in-product agentic loop for pi.dev
- Refactor the entire UI, removing dead code
- Create custom project icons in-app w/ Nano Banana Pro
- Create a LifeBuild MCP server

Something people don't talk about enough when working with AI is just how much *fun* it is. It's not just about productivity!
Claude Code is fun.
Conductor is fun.
ClawdBot is fun.
Lean into the joy, folks!

First batch of alpha invites going out for lifebuild.me
Nervous, but excited! Feels so janky right now and there's a million things I want to fix, but really important to just get it out there.

i mean i'd love to see more efforts like OCIF but failing that i think people could start cramming their app's data into HTML, PDF, etc. wouldn't make interop seamless but it would be easier to read and adversarially edit or script around

So far, I've written about the Software Factory and the Software Library.
Factory has gotten all the play. No one knows what to do with Library (or why they even need one).
People saying things like "I run 3-4 agents at a time, life is good! we've arrived!" That's not the factory. Not even close.

The easiest path to malleable software: put an agent inside your app that has access to the repo for the product and can implement fixes and push PRs in response to the user pointing out problems.

The Software Factory solves an operational problem: how do we orchestrate agents to deliver high-quality software.
Once you know what to build, the factory gets to work.
It doesn't solve the alignment problem. How do you keep the factory fed?
Let me explain.

I was wrong. It's not JUST the year of the Software Factory.
It's the year of agent orchestration, generally.
Across all domains.
I wasn't seeing the larger movement. Now I can't un-see it.

I use conductor.build every day and love it.
I wonder if they are thinking about higher-level orchestration?
I hope so! someone needs to to build it.

2026 is the year we will stop hand-writing code and fully mechanize software engineering.
This might sound like hype. And certainly there’s a lot of hype going around! But something substantial lies underneath the bluster.
Here’s how I’m thinking about it.

Spending the day working on automating my software factory.
Becoming more and more convinced that manufacturing is an appropriate metaphor and mechanism for managing software production.

in these demos "thinking" is disabled, which makes the model return tokens very quickly (all videos are realtime), and I find these rapid responses pretty good for the use-cases I'm experimenting with, like:
executing simple diagrams ...

I've always thought of "personal software" as software that is personalized to me.
But as I build my own personal software, I am realizing it's deeper than personalization.
Personal software is a manifestation of my personhood. I am putting my *self* into this software.
