Personal software factories are a waste of time

The author argues that building a personal software factory is a waste of time for individual developers, as AI tools like Claude and Grok Bot already accomplish this goal more effectively than any side project could. Instead of investing effort in infrastructure, developers should focus on actually building products and learning how existing AI tools work. The only legitimate use case for building a software factory is within a professional work environment where it can solve real, complex problems and empower entire teams.
