As a counter point to your hand waving:
This guy: http://codahale.com/about.html http://codahale.com/about.html
has 'Infrastructure Architect' as his job title.
I'd be wary of painting everyone who has Architect in their title with your broad brush strokes.
- kamaal 14y agoI am sure infrastructure architects or senior sysadmins have their own variations or equivalents of writing code. Like knowing command line usage to the teeth. Making sense of any documentation by just reading man pages, without having to hit Google in dark server rooms. Or being able to building a Working Linux machine from scratch by compiling the kernel, and installing the utils. Or being able to network and administer a cluster of servers in a data center. This is vastly different than, a guy who would just draw a block of servers on MS paint and connect them through some lines and then call himself an architect.
