Factorio Thinking for AI Agents and Hiring
Great take! I swear dealing with agents is just like real-life Factorio.
CI queue gets backed up, split and make more selective.
Local runner bogged down by CI work, add alternative cloud runner.
Cloud deploy runner now slow, add more cloud runners.
Deployment costs increase, time to refactor.
It's just bottlenecks all the way down...
And honestly, I'm not exactly sure how I'd go about interviewing designers or engineers today. Basically, all the existing signal counts for little.
So sense of urgency and Factorio hours may not be a bad starting point.
