Is the Architect's Job Just Prompting Now? Lessons from the Field

AI is reshaping how software gets built — but is it also reshaping what it means to be a Software Architect?

In this talk I examine how the role is evolving: which responsibilities AI absorbs, which it amplifies, and which still demand human judgment.

To ground the discussion, I'll walk through a real case study — vibe-coding a full-stack application with AI as my main collaborator — sharing what worked, what didn't, and what the experiment revealed about being an architect today.
