Very cool article. Wish it didn't have silly AI-isms:

It's an AI company, it's kind of expected at this point - who would take an AI company seriously if they don't use AI themselves?

I quite like the “shape” term; every type of (sigh…) stakeholder … understands it, and I don’t need to swap in terms like “interface”, api, contract, architecture, structure, etc - unless I want to talk specifically about that thing. Everyone can fit a triangle and parallelogram in their mind, which is just dandy when I’m just trying to communicate difference.

“Lands on”? I like that less.
