Software Factories are extremely valuable, but hard to build. @tessl_io's new product may have just solved that 🙂
- Simple onboarding turns a repo into a factory in moments.
- Template loops for code review, vulnerability remediation, cost optimization and more.
- Built-in ops, compounding your factory’s value.
- Interactive factory floor for tracking activity and solving problems.
- Clear and simple metrics to know what you’re getting.
Tessl factories are fully built on open skills, which you create, hone and own indefinitely. We help you create skills from your history, and the factory starts to self-improve them from here.
Lastly, Tessl factories are declarative and easy to understand and manage. Config files composing skills and environments into actions, actions and triggers into loops, and multiple loops into a factory.
This is the equivalent of Infrastructure-as-Code for factories. Instead of a bunch of disparate scripts you piece together to understand what’s happening, they codify what the factory does. This means Tessl factories aren’t just easy to setup, they’re easy to manage too.
At the end of the day, our job as tool builders is to delight our users. Solve real problems with strong technology and great UX, that help them run fast. I feel the Tessl Factory is getting this job done.
If it wasn’t obvious, I’m excited by our new product 🙂
At the end of the day, our job is delight our users, and I firmly feel the Tessl Factory does so.
As part of the launch, we’re offering $200 free credits to all users. Try it out, and let us know what you think - I can’t wait to see what you build.

Wow, this is going to be an absolute cluster...
Effective Immediately, all organizations using PHP for their systems are advised to be prepared for an update addressing two critical vulnerabilities. PHP is widely used for web applications. These vulnerabilities often provide a direct path to the server's file system or database. If an immediate update is not feasible, it is recommend that organizations take the system offline until it can be fully mitigated. NSA will follow up shortly with more specific guidance.

Playing with a pure manual setup for espresso. Cafelat Robot, 1Zpresso K-Ultra grinder, and Zojirushi boiler. No pre-heating and under 2 minutes to pull a shot, competitive to high end cafe gear.

Re-watched WALL-E and totally forgot there is an AI alignment problem with conflicting directives, plus humans are functionally illiterate after over-reliance on AI. That movie was really 20 years ahead of its time.

We’ve been working on Live Migration of Tensorlake sandboxes, which lets us move sandboxes between machines with under 300ms of guest pause and stalled TCP connections. We retain all open TCP connections as sandboxes are migrated, with zero connection resets.
Running stateful n means low cluster utilization as workload patterns shift throughout the day. Today, we don’t defragment the cluster to release underutilized nodes.
Another problem with stateful sandboxes is that they can’t outgrow the available free resources (like RAM) on a tightly packed machine.
Live Migration will help reduce operational expenses as we continue to scale, and unlock features like guaranteed vertical scaling: moving sandboxes around the cluster, and hot-plugging agent sandboxes with more compute resources when they need it.
It’s been fun working on this problem. We went back to see what VMWare and other companies have published about live VM migration and incorporated it into our dataplane, VMM, and networking subsystems.
Here is an example of moving a sandbox with 1GB RAM and 10GB disk from one node to another within a region in our production cluster!

Fascinating history of the NYC grid. Original plan was drafted in 1811 and took nearly 100 years to implement. Quirks like Broadway running diagonally date back to Native American trails, which leads to the iconic Flatiron. medium.com/@chazhutton/ho…

Cool AI rendering of one of my favorite projects: a Centotaph in honor of Newton by Boullée of monumental scale
Another neat one: I had GPT-6 Astra build a model of a famous never-built building, Boullée’s 1784 Centotaph. There were only a few black and white sketches to work with, along with a description.
It built a full Blender model & directed a dramatic narrated walkthrough of it.

Good executives understand the details of their business. Great executives care about them. It's such a clear pattern across industries and levels. Giving a damn is a differentiator!

Pynchon wrote a musical in 1958 about a dystopian future where the IBM Master Machine runs the world, all of Texas is a datacenter, and locals fight the machine expansion. Fun read, and crazy parallels to AI narratives of today. shipwrecklibrary.com/the-modern-wor…

Excited to share this discussion with now-former @HashiCorp co-founder & CTO @armon about "The Wall-E Economy" a warning of dystopia brought on by a frictionless consumer society -- and there are takeaways for biz / tech leaders, too.

I’m concerned about the faustian trade of our free will for convenience. My @geekwire op-ed on “The WALL-E Economy” and the dystopia we’re approaching with AI and smartphones, but can avoid with policy and behavior changes. geekwire.com/2026/opinion-t…

First day at @PrattInstitute campus as a student! Taking a month long intensive course in (physical) architecture. Just like software, I’ve always loved the blend of creativity and constraints.

It's impossible to get Google Cloud Run, Identity Aware Proxy, and Cloud Tasks to work together given the byzantine set of IAM interactions, service accounts, etc. Makes sense entire companies exist to arbitrage the complexity of modern cloud.

I'm convinced the Tao of HashiCorp may be the most important product philosophy of the agent era. Agents don't want monolithic products, but clean abstractions, composable primitives, and well-defined interfaces. Every builder should read it.

Today we're launching @soffi_dev.
I spent most of my career shaping products but relying on others to build them. Then AI changed that.
Soffi lets designers and PMs work directly on real, deployed software alongside engineers.
Not mockups. Not prototypes. The actual product.
