AI Native Software Factory for Solo Builders

A public lab for building software with the leverage of a small AI-native team.

OneManLab records how one builder uses AI Native SDLC, Harness Engineering, and Build In Public practice to turn projects into reusable methods.

Current Research

The site is organized around a few durable questions, not a pile of features.

AI Native SDLC

How software delivery changes when planning, specification, coding, review, and documentation all become AI-assisted.

Harness Engineering

How to build the scripts, checks, context, and feedback loops that make AI-assisted work repeatable.

Spec First Development

How to make written intent the source of truth before implementation begins.

AI Native Journey

OneManLab moves from practice to method before it earns the right to become a platform.

Practice

Ship small changes and keep the work visible.

Method

Extract repeatable patterns from real delivery.

System

Turn useful patterns into a stable operating system.

Platform

Only explore productization after the method proves itself.

Manifesto

The lab has a point of view.

The manifesto is intentionally simple for now. It marks the principles that will guide future writing, projects, and methods.
