Architecture and Design

Self-contained, recoverable actors provide reliable building blocks for larger systems. Recoverable components allow system designers to focus on other system areas. AI cannot own architecture, business reasoning, or long-term system coherence. Software systems require planning, design judgment, and understanding of interactions across many parts. Encapsulating work and outcomes inside an actor helps manage complexity at the system level. A class that combines database connections, business logic, and email notifications is treated as a god class. AI is described as lacking a system-level plan and focusing too narrowly on immediate code context. Code that works in the short term can still damage the intended architecture. God classes tend to accumulate many bugs and slow down feature development. Developer intuition applies to high-level design issues as well as local code defects. Hard-to-understand code and suspicious naming are signals worth investigating.
