I read that post about constraints and kept thinking that it should be the infrastructure for the next generation of systems development, not art assets :)
In my mind it should be possible to input really fuzzy constraints like "It should have a good looking, blog-like design" A search engine would find a set of implications from that statement created by designers and vetted by their peers. Some browsing and light tweaking and there, I have a full front-end design provided for the system. Then I add further constraints. "Available via http://blahblah.com/ and be really cheap", again the search engine will find the implied constrains and provide options among the cheaper cloud providers. I pick one of them and there provisioning is taken care of. I guess the problem is to come up with a way to formalize all this knowledge experts are sitting on into a representation usable by that search engine. But could this not be done implicitly from the act of selecting a match after a search? Say some solution S derived from constrains A,B,C is selected in my search. I have constraint A,B and D as input. By implication the system now knows that S is a solution to D.
