Description

I saw an online job posting several years ago that listed a set of desired software development and programming skills and concluded with the statement, "Architects Need Not Apply." Joe Winchester has written that Those Who Can, Code; Those Who Can't, Architect (beware an extremely obnoxious Flash-based popup) and has stated that part of his proposed Hippocratic Oath for Programmers would be to "swear that my desire to enter the computing profession is not to become an architect." Andriy Solovey has written the post Do We Need Software Architects? 10 Reasons Why Not and Sergey Mikhanov has proclaimed Why I don’t believe in software architects. More recent posts have talked of Frustration with the Role and Purpose of Architects on Software Projects and The frustrated architect. In this post, I look at some of the reasons software architects are often held in low esteem in the software development community.
