The comparison to devops is an interesting one, but for it to work you really have to transport yourself into the absolute most stale kind of enterprise development you can think of, where software architects feel too proud to do any coding at all and where coders throw stuff over the wall to the sysadmins, who will complain about how it's impossible to deploy or get reasonable performance out of which the coders will ignore because the sysadmins are just whiny BOFHs. The norm in building architecture still seems to be "We just draw stuff, it's someone else's job to build it, don't care if I'm making their life hard or their work expensive." Glad to see that's changing.
