If architects had to work like programmers…
Sometimes non-programmers don’t understand why software can suck so much, hopefully this will help you people understand: http://www.pcuf.fi/~pjt/pink/software-architecture.html
You might think this is a funny exageration, but you’d be wrong. It is funny, but not an exageration. I find it is often the case that programmers build software that people ask for, after all, eggheads are great at following instructions to a ‘T’, unfortunately, what people want is not what people ask for.
I’m not going to use this as a crutch and say programmers and software engineers can’t and shouldn’t do better, but do understand what we’re working with here.
But this has been explained before…
