Absolutely loved this piece! I especially appreciated the view toward AI‑first tooling: clear naming, consistent folder structure, and metadata aren’t just nice for humans—they’re essential for giving agents the context they need to manage or refactor safely. That resonates deeply. If infrastructure is going to self‑heal at 2 AM, it needs to be legible—not just to engineers, but to the systems running it next

Brilliant point about patterns as 'cognitive shortcuts' for both humans and agents. Teams investing in coherent taxonomies now will definitely have an edge when AI starts managing infrastructure autonomously.
