A big part of the problem here is people who become architects because they're bad at code. I agree that practice is important, but it's surprising how slowly competency degrades. Not having coded in years, I always check with my lead dev or architect when something the team's doing doesn't make sense to me. 95% of the time, it doesn't make sense to them either. I'm still confused that this number is so high.
