- benatkin 15y agoGet the right kind of experience as a programmer for a few years and you can be a software architect. :p
- sliverstorm 15y agoOr perhaps even a architecture software architect!

- reneherse 15y agoI often wish just the opposite ;) So I'm working on "porting" my architecture knowledge and experience to something relevant in the world of software development. Looks like it's leading me on a path towards UX, UI, and interaction design :) The main reasons for the pivot? In architecture you have huge project mortality rates, lots of overtime and stress, and low pay. There are of course wonderful things about the work in architecture and its potential & history, but it's generally extremely difficult to find an opportunity where you can get paid for doing innovative work.
