This is not how technology works in the world. See the arguments of for example McLuhan. Technologies are appendages for the human body or intellect, and at the same time they numb the part of that they amplify.
Also the point of the Architecture Astronauts idea is that they don't produce working systems. It's a specific pejorative, it doesn't refer generally to people that work at a high-level without harming the systems they engage with.
- sitkack 4y agoYou clearly have a bone to pick with software architects, if anything it should reduce the amount of Space Travel for said architects. McLuhan, a media analysis astronaut. Average is the message. > Technologies are appendages for the human body or intellect We previously had fleets of people calculating tables of numbers for hours per day. Simple calculators removed that need and increased the speed of results by orders of magnitude. You seem to be arguing for handicap system, an intellectual conservatism. Is that correct? What does ChatGPT remove from ones ability to write low level code or for a software architect to both architect a system AND produce a working model?
