AI coding agents love wrapping everything into god-objects. Layered architecture fights that instinct at the structural level. Your code gets smaller files, better tests, and agents that follow the pattern instead of inventing their own.

FastAPI and Flask make it dangerously easy to put everything in one place. Database calls in route handlers, business logic scattered across a hundred files, no clear boundary between what receives a request and what decides what to do with it. Here is how to fix that with proper layering.

I caught myself prompting an AI agent to create a Git branch. The prompt had more keystrokes than the command. That moment revealed something uncomfortable about how we're starting to confuse two very different tools.

Most takes on vibe coders are negative, and well deserved. Then I watched a 30-second video that reframed the whole thing, and a second one that pulled me right back. A post that bounces between the two, ends pessimistic, and still finds a reason for hope.

AI agents produce code fast, but they also make architectural decisions that slip past review. When things break, you're reverse-engineering an alien system. The fix might be surprisingly low-tech: a weekly meeting with your agent.
