Fabricio Santecchia’s production AI-agent workshop
An engineer’s portfolio detailing Factory, a system for running AI coding agents, alongside Postgres, payment, and product-mapping infrastructure.
- For
- Engineers building AI coding-agent systems
- Worth noticing
- The failure demo is explicitly simulated, but incident notes describe 17 agents running empty turns for about 2.5 hours.
Field notes
Factory’s page traces a Slack request through agent planning, isolated code copies, simulator checks, blind review, and a pull request; it also exposes controls for simulated executor failure, vendor outage, and defect injection. The author says the simulation’s data are made up and its timings compressed, while the system structure is real; separate incident notes describe a watchdog change after 17 agents ran empty turns for about 2.5 hours.
