Cool to see Square create a template for doing this, seems like a no-brainer if you can find that much talent sitting in one place
- debacle 14y agoThere's a higher S/N ratio for UX architect, and it's a bit easier to bullshit your way into a job as a UX architect. Of the great UX people I've met in my time, none of them actually worked as UX architects.

Perhaps the reason it isn't more common is that often times it takes an in-house designer or other advocate of design to get the rest of the company on board with good design as a company priority.
