Context is the Key to the Agentic Architecture Revolution: a Conversation with Baruch Sadogursky

Michael Stiefel spoke to Baruch Sadogursky about software architecture in the age of agentic AI. LLM can function, albeit stochastically, as reasoning machines capable of interpreting human ambiguity. With the appropriate rigorous context artifacts to control the LLM’s reasoning, software specifications can become the source of truth, while the code becomes a disposable intermediate language.
