Not Every Nail Needs an AI Hammer: Architectures That Think Before They Generate

We live in an era where everything "needs generative AI"... or so we're told. In this talk I'll cut through the hype to talk about what really matters: designing clean, intentional, and sustainable architectures. We'll explore how to combine the best of the traditional world with emerging tools without falling into over-engineering. Because sometimes a well-placed regex beats a multi-million-parameter LLM. If you're tired of seeing Ferraris parked at the supermarket, this talk is for you.
