A panel discussion from GOTO 2025 featuring Rebecca Parsons, Gregor Hohpe, Barry O'Reilly, and Andrew Harmel-Law exploring big questions in software architecture. Key themes include: organizational dysfunction being universal and inherent to human systems rather than a fixable problem; the challenge of communicating AI risks (non-determinism, liability) to business leadership; strategies for driving change in resistant organizations through small experiments and finding leverage points; the architectural implications of LLMs and quantum computing; and how AI coding tools amplify existing strengths rather than filling skill gaps. The panelists emphasize that architecture success depends more on how decisions are understood and propagated than on the decisions themselves.
