[counterintuitive] AI can design microservice architectures and system boundaries by generating the scaffolding code

Define system boundaries, interfaces, and data flow contracts manually. Restrict AI to implementing the internal logic of bounded contexts, never defining the boundaries themselves.

Journey Context:
AI optimizes for local coherence. Left to design architecture, it will happily generate circular dependencies or tightly coupled distributed monoliths because it solves for the immediate functional need without understanding Conway's Law or domain boundaries. Senior architects are needed more than ever to define the seams.
