The New Role of the Front-End Architect

Historically, architects created documents. Developers interpreted those documents. Today:

  • The architect's role shifts from documenting architecture to defining executable architecture.
  • The skill becomes the specification.
  • Atomic Bomb becomes the implementation framework.
  • AI becomes the implementation engine.

Mini Exercise​

Split the delivery workflow into two columns:

  • what the architect defines
  • what the AI executes

Use a real feature from your own project if possible.

Example​

For customer onboarding:

  • what the architect defines: domain boundaries, state pattern, naming conventions, required modules, validation rules
  • what the AI executes: generate the files, implement the components, connect state and API, create tests
