2026-06-01 — Spec Kit: a practical way to apply Specification-Driven Development
Spec Kit helps bring Specification-Driven Development into real projects by using specifications, technical plans and tasks to guide the work of AI agents. -
2026-05-21 — Specification-Driven Development: bringing specifications back in the age of AI agents
Specification-Driven Development is bringing specifications back into modern software engineering, especially in scenarios involving AI-assisted and agent-driven development. -
2026-03-05 — From Copilots to Agents: An Architectural Reading of Microsoft AI Tour 2026
Microsoft AI Tour 2026 hints at an interesting shift in the evolution of enterprise AI: from isolated copilots toward agent-based systems integrated into real business processes. -
2026-02-04 — Why most important technical decisions are not made in code
Code materializes decisions, but it is rarely the place where the most important ones are made. -
2026-01-20 — Agent Mesh Architecture: When AI Stops Being a Chatbot
When agents collaborate, architecture is no longer optional. -
2026-01-19 — Why Architecture Documentation Still Matters (Even with AI)
AI accelerates development, but it also accelerates the loss of context. Without architectural documentation, systems become fragile. -
2026-01-16 — Architecture in the Age of AI: What Doesn’t Change (and What Does)
Artificial intelligence introduces new components and assumptions, but it does not eliminate architecture. It makes it more necessary. -
2026-01-15 — Why copilots don’t scale without architecture
Many organisations are deploying copilots and AI assistants. Few are designing the system around them. -
2026-01-10 — Introducing AI into an organisation without breaking it
Most organisations want to “use AI”. Few really understand what that means. -
2026-01-09 — Architecture is not a diagram
When people think about software architecture, many imagine diagrams. -
2026-01-08 — Why many AI projects fail after the pilot
Most organisations have already run some kind of AI pilot. -
2026-01-07 — The real architecture of a production RAG system
Today it is trivial to build a RAG demo: a PDF, a vector store and a call to an LLM. -
2026-01-05 — Cloud governance for small teams (without killing agility)
When people talk about cloud governance, many organisations think of bureaucracy. -
2026-01-04 — Why a landing zone is not just infrastructure
In many cloud projects, the landing zone is treated as just a preliminary step. -
2026-01-03 — What a DSA really is (and why it’s often used poorly)
In many projects people talk about “doing a DSA” as if it were just another formality. -
2026-01-02 — Monoliths, microservices and the false dichotomy
In almost every architecture conversation the same question comes up: “Monolith or microservices?” -
