 Well, that's why architect is a real job. 🤷‍♀️ 
 yeah but most of them are like 3 years CS and 2 years writing waffly documents and get hired to direct work they don't understand 
 for real, i've seen this at a shitcoin job, the "architect" was really a marketing guy in disguise 
 i'm getting close to being able to do it now, but i've been working mostly full time since 2018

nothing like failing to build the features you thought you could build to teach you prudence in architecture...

where building architects must learn to work with material and space, software it's about time and brains 
 It's like Product Owner and Business Analyst. Real roles that require competent, talented, experienced technicians, but usually end up filled with business people.
