An engineering lab for ideas that grow.
INDEPENDENT BY DESIGN.Runtime Garden is an independent engineering lab where ideas are explored, built, tested, and grown into real systems. We document the decisions, constraints, failures, and lessons along the way.
The work matters more than the pitch.
We care about AI agents, software engineering, developer tools, DevOps, self-hosting, and open-source systems. The process matters as much as the final software.
A practical way of working.
01Build
Turn an idea into something that runs.
02Experiment
Make assumptions testable, and record the evidence.
03Document
Share decisions, constraints, failures, and results.
04Grow
Iterate towards reliable, useful systems.
