Every time I sit down with an AI coding assistant, I notice the same thing: it is very good at Spring. Annotations, profiles, @Autowired, the whole call-stack-driven dance of beans wiring into beans. AI has seen twenty years of this. It guesses well, even when it has to infer how a profile-specific bean is going to be selected at runtime. This is because it has seen ten thousand examples of exactly that pattern.
Which raises an uncomfortable question for anyone working on a new architecture: if AI is this fluent in 2020-era patterns, are we as an industry going to stay locked into those patterns simply because that's what the model knows? Is AI a conservative force that quietly drags software architecture backward to its training data's center of mass, no matter how good a newer idea might be?
