HOW WE BUILT A SOFTWARE FACTORY TO DRIVE ASTRO'S GITHUB ISSUE COUNT TO ZERO

Summary from the TLDR Founders newsletter

Astro handed more than 200 open GitHub issues to four agents that separately reproduce, diagnose, verify, and fix each report. The backlog is now around 30, and the team expects to reach zero for the first time in Astro's five-year history. The four-agent split matters more than the agent count. No agent owns an issue from start to finish. Each leaves evidence for the next one, GitHub labels hold the state, and the original reporter tests a preview package before a pull request opens.
