In my experience good developers act as architects no matter what their title is. But the purpose of a single formal 'architect' is more of a mediator between developers. Someone to find common ground when two viable technical solutions are presented, and be accountable for those decisions.
- div 15y agoIn my experience, when two viable technical solutions are presented, one is decided on by weighing the pros and cons. The problem with 'appointing' a formal architect is as the parent said: the architecture becomes the sole responsibility of the architect. There is plenty of room for a mediator without having to call him the architect.
