Only issue is, a bad dev can still make mistakes that compile and run but fail at the first hint of trouble. A friend used to say, "every line of code you write, you make at least one, if not more decisions about the architecture of the program" and I totally agree. So I can still see a really good architect being betrayed by a below mediocre engineering team even if the architecture is sound.
