Easier way to avoid waste of time: Stop wrestling with the unreliable word guessing plagiarism machine, and think for yourself.

    Holy fuck, this guy is basically playing the "it's so fucking joever, roll over and die" card.

    The frontier labs are working on both models and products, and the models get better based on the user's experience of a product. The labs' number one goal is to remove friction and let you build cool stuff. I'm having a hard time competing with that. Why would I even want to?

    Here's a reason : because these pricks are taking the money you feed into them for their "tokens" to further fuck over humanity as part of a gigantic system of surveillance.

    In this case what is meant by a "software factory"? Is this like a collection of first party modules, templates, and boilerplate code to make the creation of future projects easier? Is it meant as a freelance design business? Or is a "software factory" something completely different?

    Generally it just means a collection of tools, patterns, ways of working, optimizations, testing systems, etc. I’ve been writing software professionally for 20ish years and the value of building a software factory almost always is only realized by the enterprise. Mainly because you also need enough smart engineers to upgrade and adapt the factory to the ever-improving and shifting software landscape and ecosystem and evolving business goals. I can’t imagine anyone who would have enough free time to build a software factory for hobby projects, except for those who hobby projects are their actual job, e.g. full time open source developers.
