Brief

@8090Factory: senior engineers' tacit context is the primary bottleneck; a retrieval layer can surface that knowledge, but the tougher challenge is keeping it synchronized with shipped code. 8090Factory positions its Software Factory Knowledge Graph (8090.ai) as a solution that captures intent and enforces it from requirements to tested code. Garry Tan endorses the view and recommends GBrain as an OSS retrieval layer.

Source evidence

The context locked in senior engineers' heads is the bottleneck. A retrieval layer surfaces it.

Keeping it in sync with what ships is the harder problem, and the one our Software Factory's Knowledge Graph solves: capture the intent, enforce it from requirements to tested code.

Try out Software Factory: 8090.ai

This is the actual bottleneck. The models are smart enough already. What is missing is the company-specific context locked in senior people heads. Whoever cracks knowledge extraction at the company level unlocks the rest.

As you work on this, please consider using GBrain as your OSS retrieval layer
