The Infoq Podcast

AI coding assistants promise speed, but what do they mean for quality, trust, and the architect’s craft? In this inaugural episode of Next Gen Architecture Playbook, Shweta Vohra and Grady Booch explore a principled view of how architecture must evolve when machines begin writing code alongside humans. They unpack the third golden age of software engineering, where productivity gains are real, where the risks lie, and how architects can design review gates and practices that preserve long term integrity. Drawing on decades of experience across the history of software engineering, the conversation goes beyond hype to examine what should remain firmly human in an AI augmented world, and why architectural judgement, responsibility, and creative thinking matter more now, than ever.
