A decent perspective on Software Architects

Finally, a good post about the so called "Ivory Tower" architects: http://www.codingthearchitecture.com/pages/book/software-development-is-not-a-relay-sport.html.

I've deeply disliked (to avoid using words such as hate) for a long long time this type of people with their precious roles. The larger a software organization gets, more and more useless roles are created. The people in those roles, in the end, not only don't help the actual team working and delivering software, but they slow it down.

On the other hand, never underestimate the human ego when you have a business card with the title "Software Architect"

  1. Agree. But I will add to the concluding remarks "never underestimate the human ego when you have a business card with title containing Manager in it".
