In no part was that suggestion addressed to software design/architecture.

It is telling that, while the article's theme is product management (and its relationship with the pace of development), that context is largely ignored in some comments. It's as if the article's scope was purely what happens within the IDE and/or AI agent of choice.

The whole point is that the perspective necessarily should be broader. Otherwise, we make it a circular argument, really: development is a bottleneck of development.

Well, hard to disagree on that.
