Emerging Concepts¶
Early-stage ideas worth tracking — not yet established patterns, but too important to ignore.
Editorial Stance¶
Content in this section differs from the rest of the site. Patterns and techniques pages require sourced claims and proven applicability. Emerging concepts pages document ideas that:
- Have limited independent sourcing (often a single implementation or author)
- Show potential to become established patterns but lack broad validation
- Challenge existing assumptions about how agent-driven development works
Each page links to its primary sources and notes the maturity level. This section is deliberately small: concepts that accumulate enough independent evidence graduate out to the appropriate section (patterns, techniques, or workflows), and concepts that fail to mature are removed. A short list here signals active curation, not a coverage gap.
Current Concepts¶
- Product-as-IDE — the application becomes its own development environment
- Hyper-Personalized Software — AI-driven RAD makes custom-built software economically viable again
- First-Party Agent Composition — replace SaaS stitching with agent-built native features
- Bootstrapping Coding Agents — a coding agent re-implements itself from its specification, making the spec the stable artifact
- Interactive Canvas Outputs — when a canvas earns its overhead and what it does to code review
