Becoming an Architect
Check out Ron Jacobs’ recent podcast on Becoming an Architect, recorded at the North American Architect Forum. In introducing his topic, he notes that a lot of the people who are now software architects came to these roles largely because “they have been around a long time.” Hmmm, seems like a good jumping off point for discussion to us. Ron’s guest is Robert Daigneau, director of Platform Architecture for Monster.com.
Daigneau too has a bit of a skeptical view on the architect trend. It may, said Daigneau, refer to someone who has “seen a few things along the way ... who has seen more methodologies than [they] can count.” This experience leads an architect to look beyond technical issues, when designing. Of his own experience, he says, “I have been on the Death Marches [a reference to Ed Yourdon’s terms for failing projects], and you find it’s usually not a technical problem [at the core].”
What is your read on this topic? Is the title “Architect” overused?
