Augment's Software Factory: Size-Adjusted Output per Dev Grew 4.5×

Augment 复盘软件工厂建设：人均规模调整产出增长 4.5 倍

Augment automated review, verification, and feedback loops beyond code generation, building a software factory that spans requirements to production. Over eight months, size-adjusted output per dev rose from 12.3 to 55.7, median merge time dropped from 11.2 hours to 3.1 hours, and the 14-day revert rate fell from 1.9% to 0.4%. They added agents wherever work piled up rather than following lifecycle order, keeping engineers responsible for product decisions, architecture, and production risk.

Why it matters: Augment used its own product to reshape internal dev workflows and shared 8 months of real data — not PR fluff. The 4.5x per-capita output and 3.1h PR merge time are concrete, but it's a single-team self-report with no third-party validation, so it stays at 78.
