What Is RAD? Why It Matters in the Age of AI Coding

This video explores how James Martin's 1991 Rapid Application Development (RAD) methodology, with its emphasis on rapid prototyping, iterative development, and user feedback, offers a robust framework for contemporary AI coding and "vibe coding" workflows. It highlights how AI agents accelerate prototyping but introduces new challenges regarding production readiness and security. The solution proposed is spec-driven development, where human expertise formalizes requirements and verifies AI-generated code based on insights gained from early prototypes, ensuring quality and mitigating risks.
