Show HN: Andon – Toyota Production System for LLM Coding Agents
TL;DR
LLM coding agents (Claude Code, Codex, etc.) have structural weaknesses: blind retry loops, volatile learning, silent spec drift, and gate gaming. These aren't bugs in specific models — they're properties of goal-optimizing systems.
Nauti's Take
Applying Toyota's factory-floor wisdom to LLM agents is genuinely clever — blind retry loops and silent spec drift are real pain points. But with 2 upvotes and zero comments, the jury's still out on whether this solves the problem or just wraps it in Lean jargon.
Briefingshow
If it delivers, ANDON could make autonomous coding agents significantly more reliable in production pipelines — worth a quick eval.
