This is half question, half thought experiment: What exactly is it that makes us think „great, I can delegate coding to the agent, and focus on architecture myself“, instead of „great, I can delegate coding to the agent, and I can delegate architecture to the agent, and I can focus on <third thing> myself“?

And how many levels up can you construct this sentence before things go south?

What I‘m implying with this question is, of course: What makes us so confident that these things are not also better architects than us?

After all there is a huge corpus on how to architect applications correctly, and that’s in the training data just as much as Python best practices and C++ style recommendations.

You can delegate architecture to agents, as long as you know different architectures and decide which one is the most fit for a given scenario. AI can choose one but it will usually pick the one that is more present in the training corpus.

React + NextJS is a terrible architectural decision for most projects that LLMs recommend all the time.
