I don't necessarily disagree with this post but I really disagree with how it is written and with the contempt it expresses towards a fellow tech guy.
First of all - after reading all that, I still don't fully know what the author exactly means by "software factory". Please define the term if you are to argue about it so we know exactly what you're talking about.
Second of all - the author is glorifying one approach to tech (the "idea guys") and severely downplaying other approaches. Just because he finds this fun and entertaining doesn't mean everyone does - and the world needs all of those people. Idea guys are cool and they just got a very powerful tool, but we still need those passionate devs who dedicate a lot of their time to building and researching massive projects even if they're not sure they make sense
