You’ve heard it many times:
““Sure, I Can Do That.””
AI always wants to be your friend. Ask an AI assistant for help and it’s quick to reply: “Sure!” “Absolutely!” “Of course I can do that!” And it really sounds like it can.
The problem? Too often it can’t. And instead of saying, “I don’t know,” it just makes something up.
“Confidently…“Politely…“And completely wrong.”””
The “Yes, and…” Problem
We’ve built AI systems that act like the world’s most agreeable intern. Always nodding, never cha…
It’s hard not to admire confidence in marketing.
Take Fortra, for example. Fortra is the new parent company of GoAnywhere, a Managed File Transfer (MFT) solution that’s been around for years. The Fortra website proudly declares, “We break the attack chain.”
Catchy, right? Except… “break” might have been a little too on the nose. Because that’s exactly what happened recently: their security response came to a screeching halt.
On September 11th, a new critical vulnerability (CVE-2025-10035) was d…

It seems like AI has become suddenly important to Software Architects in nearly all industries. It’s the latest and greatest technology in a world of fast moving technologies.
Actually, AI is not “suddenly” important. AI has been around for as long as software has been around, dating back as early as the 1950s. In the 1970’s, AI technology in the form of Lisp software systems, were believed to be a very promising but just a bit out of reach “silver bullet” solution to every problem. But the “si…

Welcome to the first episode of the Software Architecture Insights new podcast!
The landscape of software development has notably transformed in 2024, with 62% of developers now leveraging AI in their workflows. While this integration has significantly boosted productivity, it has also raised concerns regarding code quality and complexity. The discussion reflects on findings from the recent 2025 GitClear AI Code Quality Research report, which analyzed over 211 million lines of code and reveale…
It's 2025.
AI is no longer a novelty. It’s a fact of life.
Generative AI models have matured, multimodal systems can process text, images, and speech relatively seamlessly, and AI-powered copilots have found their way into developer tools, office suites, and even design platforms.
And yet… the hype hasn’t gone away.
If anything, the AI hype is getting louder. Every product launch announcement now must include a phrase like “Now with AI!” Investors want to know what your “AI strategy” is. Com…
Not all applications are created equal. Some are built to process transactions and maintain state, while others focus on delivering content, data, or experiences to users. For software architects and engineering leaders, distinguishing between these core application types is critical for making sound decisions about scalability, infrastructure, security, and data management.
Why?
Because how you design, build, construct, and operate your application is different based on your customer use pat…
