About this talk

This talk discusses the implications of local optimizations in software development, particularly how the application of AI may lead to faster coding without enhancing the overall value delivery. Michael Carducci explores the concept of architecting for flow, emphasizing that the primary goal should be continuous value delivery rather than merely accelerating coding processes. He draws from key concepts such as Architecture for Flow, Domain-Driven Design, Team Topologies, and his Tailor-Made Architecture Model to illustrate how to align business strategy, architecture, and teams through shared constraints and feedback loops. Attendees will gain insights on effectively utilizing automation and AI to improve delivery flow and creating socio-technical architectures that evolve sustainably.
