20+ years of practice evolution
Architecture and delivery
From software to AI-assisted SDLC
3. Evolution runs through five contours
4. A fast start creates expensive growth
5. Design makes a problem testable
6. Storage follows the read pattern
7. Style changes the ownership boundary
8. Release became part of the repository
9. Platforms separate business from hardware
10. AI enters the whole SDLC
11. A new layer changes responsibility
Design records assumptions
Data follows access
Architecture changes ownership
Pipelines encode delivery
Platform and AI shift bottlenecks
Evolution adds trade-offs; it does not erase them
12. The continuation deepens trade-offs
