How do you go from “I have an idea” to a real product, brand and business? Guy Aga shares the journey of building Matar from scratch: transforming a book into a knowledge base, researching the market, developing and testing products, using generative AI to visualize ideas, 3D printing custom tools and accessories, and building a complete WordPress e-commerce operation with Claude Code. A practical story about creativity, learning, experimentation and execution — and what becomes possible when AI works alongside human curiosity and craftsmanship. The Builder’s M

Everyone’s been talking about software factories lately. But what does that actually mean in practice? And how do you know your factory is producing anything good? Once agents take over the coding, the bottlenecks move somewhere else: environments, builds, CI, testing, and evals. As agent output scales, evals become the quality gate, the way you know whether what your agent's ship actually works. The teams pulling ahead aren’t only adopting agents. They’re building the infrastructure, and the evals, that make AI development work at scale. Join the 3rd Autonomous Engineering meetup, where platform and AI leaders who run these systems today will share what works, what breaks, and where to begin.
