Ask HN: Any advice on how to learn good software architecture practices?
As someone who picked up coding around the time AI and agents started becoming more mainstream, I realize I don’t have much knowledge about the best way to architect applications, and I often end up going with whatever the agent recommends. I wanted to check with the community: do you have any recommendations on what I should be doing to get better at overall architecture planning? I do ask AI a lot of questions, but it would be good to have a non-AI frame of reference that I can rely on. I find that having a structured starting point really helps me challenge and evaluate some of the outputs. 0 comments on Hacker News.
