Great article. And yes we are seeing a demise yet when the individual has the an ability to write and deploy their own architecture and solution comes great responsibility. Privacy, security, governance, regulations etc. I would say that the next layer will be Claude or other coding AI needs to learn true enterprise architecture and data topology otherwise I see a lot of law suits and fines for the new king
