20 Years in the Making
The journey to automate software creation didn't begin with AI. It started with a simple question in 2005: Why does software take so long to build?
A Signal in the Void
In 2005, we asked a simple question that would shape the next 20 years: "What if we could automate software development?" Like a lighthouse beam cutting through fog, this question guided our journey through templates, open source, and AI—finally converging into Luna's comprehensive automation platform.
The Convergence
Four critical elements, drawn together by the gravity of innovation
The Journey
Two decades of exploration, discovery, and patient evolution toward a singular vision.
The Template Insight
Websites could be generated from templates. Why not entire applications? Why not full-stack systems? The seed of an idea was planted.
The Open Source Revelation
Open source was growing—30% to 50% of modern applications. The logic was clear: if you want to automate software creation, you must start with open source.
The Waiting Period
The idea went dormant. Low-code and no-code platforms evolved, but they remained static—constrained by predetermined libraries. Something fundamental was still missing.
AI Changed Everything
ChatGPT launched. AI wasn't just selecting from static libraries—it was generating software dynamically, creating novel solutions in real-time. The missing piece had arrived.
The Critical Realization
Building Luna revealed the truth: you cannot skip the software engineering process. SDLC exists for a reason—30, 40, 60 years of refinement ensuring quality, scalability, and speed.
Luna Takes Shape
The convergence: AI + open source + templates + SDLC. Not replacing software engineering, but applying it correctly to AI-driven development.
