The Return of the Software Architect

For years, the software architect role was quietly fading — squeezed out by agile teams, fast-moving startups, and the assumption that good developers could figure out structure as they went. Now AI is reversing that trend, because AI-generated code without architectural guidance produces systems that collapse under their own weight. This episode explores why the architect mindset is not just relevant again — it may be the most critical skill in the AI development era.
