Giving AI a Clear Picture of Your System: Prompts, Architecture, and Assumptions Note: This article was developed from the author’s ideas and refined with the assistance of AI. Author’s note: I outlined the problem, added my own ideas and examples, and used an AI assistant to shape them into an article. I reviewed and refined the draft with the assistant, then asked it to write the conclusion. AI coding tools can create useful software from a short request. For a small, new project, we might describe what we want and let the AI choose a structure, connect the parts, and write the code. Since it is designing much of the project itself, it can make assumptions that fit together. That freedom is part of what makes AI useful. We don’t…

From Traditional Architectures to Fully Event-Driven Systems: Why Architecture Matters for AI Coding Tools Note: This article was developed from the author’s ideas and refined with the assistance of AI. Author’s note: I outlined the problem, added my own ideas and examples, and used an AI assistant to shape them into an article. I reviewed and refined the draft with the assistant, then asked it to write the conclusion. AI coding tools can write and modify code, but working effectively in a large software project is still difficult. The challenge is not simply the amount of code. To make a correct change, a tool must also understand the system’s structure, the responsibilities of its components, and how those components communicate. In a small application, a few files or functions may…
