💡 72% of organizations have adopted AI, yet most are stuck in “pilot purgatory”!
The reason? It’s rarely a technology problem- it’s a flow problem.
As this #InfoQ article explores, AI is a force multiplier: if your organization is dysfunctional, AI will simply amplify that dysfunction at scale. 📈
The real shift isn’t just #AIadoption - it’s moving toward #FastFlow by: ✅ Defining clear domain boundaries ✅ Engineering context

Hierarchies 😩... One of the biggest recurring time-consuming issues I sometimes encounter is making decisions about _where_ to put some (new or exisiting) code/feature, i.e. in which package, new or existing, considering: functional fit (topic), structural fit (pre-existing data format conventions with the rest of a package), and if possible, not introducing new dependencies as a result of new feature... Sometimes these three aspects are mutually blocking each other and it's so time consuming to figure out a solution...
I've got very similar issues with most other static hierarchies (e.g. directory-based file systems, hierarchical websearch directories etc.) and why I think tag-based systems (with intersection/union/negation ops, not just single categories) are a superior way to organize large collections of knowledge (counting source code here too as a form of encoded knowledge). It's also one of the reasons I've been experimenting with and building tools with completely flat collections/graphs and then use queries & transclusion to assemble/extract/select functionality on demand... Need to prepare some screen recordings to share more of those tools/experiments...

Ever joined a project haunted by undocumented decisions?
Our new story on facilitating architecture explores these "ghost decisions." We discuss uncovering them through "architectural archaeology"—reverse-engineering the past into Architecture Decision Records (ADRs).
Understanding the 'why' empowers teams to challenge old constraints and evolve the system confidently.

In my latest article, I shift focus from feature flags and pricing plans to a challenge many SaaS teams are now facing: how to keep your LLM-powered features fast, affordable, and reliable under load.
I break down why LLMs can quietly destroy your margins and what makes these features especially hard to scale. #SaaS#LLM#SoftwareArchitecture
