Dark Software Factory: Why We Build Differently
What happens when traditional software development approaches can no longer solve the problems we face? In this session, we explore the challenges, gaps, and limitations that remain unsolved, why conventional approaches fall short, and what led us to rethink the way software is built.
Discover the thinking behind the Dark Software Factory, the problems we're trying to solve, and why we chose a different approach using AI, automation, and intelligent engineering to transform how software is designed, developed, and delivered.
