As code generation becomes increasingly automated, the role of developers and architects is changing. The challenge is no longer about making AI write more code, but about guiding it toward systems that are coherent, maintainable, and purposeful. In this session, Michael Carducci reframes software architecture for the era of intelligent agents. He explains how architectural constraints, composition, and trade-offs serve as the foundation for directing AI tools effectively. Drawing on principles from the Tailor-Made Architecture Model, Carducci presents practical mental models that help developers think architecturally, communicate intent clearly to AI systems, and prevent automation from increasing complexity. The session highlights how architecture remains central to software design by amplifying, rather than replacing, human creativity.
