Building your own software factory — Eric Zakariasson, Cursor

Apr 28, 2026 · 1:23:37

Eric Zakariasson, an engineer at Cursor, explains how to build a 'software factory' by scaling from one agent to many, shifting from worker to manager. He outlines six stages of autonomy, from spicy autocomplete to the dark factory, and emphasizes that most teams are stuck at levels two or three. Key primitives include modular codebases, guardrails like rules and hooks that emerge dynamically, enablers such as skills and MCPs, and verifiable systems like automated tests. Cloud agents with isolated VMs allow agents to run asynchronously, test their own work via computer control, and scale to thousands. Eric shares internal automations like daily reviews, PR comment analysis, and continual learning that extracts rules from chat transcripts. He concludes with strategic advice: front-load context, don't outsource critical decisions, and build tools and systems to capture flywheels, noting that human accountability remains essential.

Blender MCP and The Future Of Creative Tools - Siddharth Ahuja

Jun 3, 2025 · 16:50

Siddharth Ahuja introduces Blender MCP, an open-source project that lets LLMs like Claude control Blender via the Model Context Protocol, dramatically lowering the barrier to 3D creation. The tool, which has garnered 11,500 GitHub stars and over 160,000 downloads, enables users to generate complex scenes—like a dragon guarding a pot of gold or a full terrain with nodes—in minutes through natural language prompts. Ahuja explains that Blender’s scripting capabilities are key, and notes that keeping MCP tools lean avoids confusion for the LLM. He demonstrates integrations with AI asset generators and even built an Ableton MCP to create soundtracks, arguing that MCPs will become the glue for creative toolchains, allowing LLMs to orchestrate Blender, Unity, and Ableton together. This shifts creators from tool experts to orchestra conductors, unlocking a new wave of accessible content creation.
