Ship a product in 72 hours with a bot team

Three SpaceX engineers used a Grok Bot team to go from an empty repo to a product with 433 PRs, with agents reproducing bugs and merging autonomously except for human gates on migrations and deploys.

What They Did

Three SpaceX engineers ran one chief-of-staff bot that spawned specialist bots, each limited to a single job description. Bots earned write access only after drafting changes first, then reproduced bugs, attached video proof, and opened PRs. They merged autonomously except at the four human gates on migrations, deploys, money, and permissions.

How It Went

The team hit 433 PRs in 72 hours from an empty repo. Launch day showed 4,000 games and 2,000 users but $0 revenue. One later month reached 2,500 PRs merged.

Worth Knowing

They logged every one of the 40 on-air failures plus the extracted rule for each.
