But do you know for a fact these "architects" forgot how to code, and would bomb an engineering interview?

- wallflower 8y agoI once walked into a really sharp architect’s office and asked him how it was going. He shrugged and showed me what he was working on: task scheduling in Microsoft Project. He hadn’t coded a line in months. It is not necessarily that the architects don’t know how to code but more lack of opportunities to do so, as they increasingly become a human API between the engineering team and management and execs. Meetings all day, some of them of low value.
