AI Isn't Making Me a Better Architect—It's Making Me Lazier, and That's the Problem

Last month, I caught myself asking Claude to suggest a caching strategy for a service we were building. Not asking it to explain Redis patterns or compare approaches—asking it to *decide* for me. I copy-pasted the suggestion into our design doc, and only during code review did a...

The Gap Nobody Talks About: Why Your Network Operations Still Live in Scattered Scripts
