How can you get to be lead architect if you don’t already know how to do the job incredibly well?
Like how could someone design/architect a skyscraper if they didn’t already know how to do it?
Why would you accept such a job if you didn’t know that you were passionate about it, skilled and experienced?
- JoeAltmaier 6y agoThat's clearly not how anybody gets to do any job the first time, ever. There has to be a first time.
- blickentwapft 6y agoPrecisely my point. An architect is someone who has been designing and building software architectures for years as a developer and or team lead and has accumulated the skills of an architect until eventually they get do take a job solely focused on the architecture aspect of development. Crazy to make someone lead architect who hasn’t got this behind them. Architecture certifications? What the?
- JoeAltmaier 6y agoNever been in a small company I guess...
- blickentwapft 6y ago? Don’t understand your point. Is your point that small companies appoint unsuitable people to architect systems? Why because they know no better? FYI many years in small and startups also large and medium.
- JoeAltmaier 6y agoThen how can you not know, that founders/early employees wear lots of hats? No small company has everyone it needs. So you do the job, learning as you go, and the company moves along.
