Software Dark Factory:让治理适配 AI 辅助开发流程
原文标题:Governance has a bad reputation in software, usually for good reason.
Software Dark Factory(SDF)提出治理应适配开发流程而非接管流程,目标是让 AI 辅助产出的改动仍以可识别的 PR 形式接受审查,并让证据随手可得。SDF 正围绕一个实际运营问题做 dogfooding:从一个小型受治理改动到可审查的 draft PR 能有多快,同时保持证据齐备、审查体验正常。作者强调要的是可控的速度,而非为流程而流程或事后补上的合规包装。

Too often it means more process, more forms, more meetings, more gates, and more delay. Red tape dressed up as control.
That is not what I’m trying to build with Software Dark Factory.
The point of SDF is not ceremony. It is to help teams keep useful delivery moving while making AI-assisted work easier to review, trace, and challenge.
The danger with AI agents is not just that they can write bad code. It is that they can produce a lot of plausible-looking work very quickly, without leaving enough evidence for a reviewer to understand what changed, why it changed, what was checked, and what boundaries were respected.
So the SDF approach is simple: governance should fit the development workflow, not take it over.
The work should still be anchored to a useful, bounded change. The reviewer should still be looking at a recognizable PR. The evidence should be close at hand, without turning the PR into a compliance document.
That is why we are dogfooding the SDF front door around a practical operating question: how quickly can we get from a small governed change to a reviewable draft PR, with the evidence present and the reviewer experience still recognizably normal?
If governance improves trust but kills momentum, real engineering teams will route around it.
The goal is controlled speed. Not process for process’s sake. Not AI theatre. Not a compliance wrapper stapled on after the work is done.
Just a better front door for AI-assisted delivery: useful changes, normal PRs, visible evidence, and reviewer confidence without needless drag.
