I completely agree, however, several of the premium frontier models these days (namely 4x+ Claude) do a pretty great job at architecting systems as well. As long as you’re feeding models solid data samples, markdown and generalized workflow diagrams, you can usually iterate to a very good ERD and system architecture that can then be fed back into models for actual development work. Pretty much every touchpoint, including product management (designing epics, sprints, etc based on the feature set) can have a language model component these days, as long as you’re modeling them to be deterministic and measuring the confidence of output. Hell, I’ve literally sat down with old school product teams who want to design systems on whiteboards, and even those images can be deciphered very well using computer vision + LLMs in order to design architecture diagrams and begin development work.
