Architecture · Production
AI closes the first 80% well. Production is decided by the last 20%. You are paying for the judgment to catch the architecturally plausible but operationally lethal decision before it ships.
AI confidently produces code that looks architecturally sound — and turns lethal six months in. Judgment is required to evaluate output against a model of the production system. AI amplifies skill: expert + AI reaches a maintainable system fast; amateur + AI reaches a demo that disintegrates.
When the system drops at 02:14, someone has to have a name and a signature on the architecture. AI cannot sign anything. The vendor of the model cannot either. Hire someone who has been making those calls in production for twenty years.
