Claude Is Not Your Architect. Stop Letting It Pretend.

[julian@activitypub.space]

> A good architect’s most important skill isn’t designing systems. It’s knowing which systems not to build. It’s pushing back on complexity. It’s asking “why?” five times until the actual requirement emerges from the aspirational nonsense. It’s telling the CTO that their conference-inspired idea is a terrible fit for the team they actually have.

> Claude will never do this. It’s trained to be helpful. Helpful means agreeable. Agreeable means you get an attaboy and a Jenga tower that passes for architecture.
