> Opting to introduce them sooner will almost certainly increase the complexity of your codebase prematurely
Agreed, but how else are you going to scale mostly AI written code? Relying mostly on AI agents gives you that organizational complexity.

Yeah, fair. Codex has been out for less than 2 weeks at this point. I was relying on gpt-5 in August and opus before that.
I understand why you made it microservices, people make that too even when not using LLMs, because it looks like it is more organized.
But in my experience a microservide architecture is orders of magnitud more complex to build and understand that a monolith.
If you, with the help of an LLM, strugle to keep a monolith organized, I am positive you will find even harder to build microservices.
Good luck in your journey, I hope you learn a ton!
Noted. Thanks!
