Why Do AI Systems Turn Microservices Into Monoliths?

AI coding tools are remarkably good at generating individual services, but they consistently treat a microservices architecture as if it were one big program with folder boundaries. The result is code that compiles and passes tests but quietly reintroduces the coupling microservices were supposed to eliminate. This episode unpacks why that happens and what builders need to own to prevent it.
