I don't think that's true. What I do think is there's not historically been space for junior software architects. It's long been seen as the senior role you graduate to, not a position for a new grad who knows lots of theory but has little practical exposure.
- jongjong 8mo agoI was aware of that, but this senior role was replaced by other more generic senior roles like 'Head of Engineering' or just 'CTO'... And not one of my software engineering peers even thought about architecture. The number of times I've heard "architecture doesn't matter" or "clean code is completely subjective"...
