Responsibly Dimming the Lights in the Software Factory
This talk shares how agentified engineering teams optimize code review for AI-generated code while avoiding cognitive debt and skill erosion. It outlines practical steps and milestones to progressively improve code quality, then safely reduce review intensity as confidence grows, gradually “dimming the lights” area by area.

The most agentified engineering teams of my clients are all converging towards the same workflow, aiming to optimize the code review step while preventing human cognitive debt and skill erosion. This talk summarizes their practices, teaching actionable steps and milestones to gradually improve the quality of AI-generated code up to a point in which you can safely start decreasing the code review ‘intensity’. Dark Factories are not built ground up - instead, lights are responsibly dimmed, then turned off one by one, area by area, after observing impeccable code produced consistently.
