Counterintuitively, spending time on architecture upfront actually increases development speed. When architectural decisions are made, developers can focus on solving business problems instead of debating technical approaches for every feature. New features fit into existing patterns. New developers can become productive quickly because the structure is clear.
The alternative is what we might call "architecture decision fatigue". Every new feature requires deciding how it should work, where it should live, how it should communicate with other parts of the application. These micro-decisions add up. They create inconsistency. They slow everything down.
This is particularly important when working with LLMs for code generation. If you ask an AI to add a feature to a well-architected application, it can follow existing patterns. If you ask it to add a feature to an inconsistent codebase, it has to guess which pattern to follow, and those guesses are often wrong...
