As a business owner I've seen how hard it is to attract quality people in general. There aren't many quality people that bridge the coder+architect skills. It's natural to gravitate towards a suboptimal separation of the two, because not doing so means you can put yourself in a position of resting your business on the shoulders of a superstar. As far as I can tell, the best way to avoid this is to build a good team with overlapping skills and a strong sense of how to solve problems.
- j45 14y agoPart of it is the unclear definition that allows someone to say they are a coder+architect. Is it software architect? How much is it systems architect? Some things I look for: - Find someone who is always solving problems and building things to understand how they work, and how an organization works. - Find someone who gets that the data is the system. If the individual doesn't have an ability to immediately want to learn the data, what it means, how it interacts in all its stages and the various outputs, you don't have a coder+architect who can put the small details together to come together down stream.
