Interesting. I've been writing code for 26 years. For the last 12 of those I've been an architect where my job is to identify, design and often implement components of a solution, their attributes, their relationships , and attributes of those relationships. Projects I've worked on range from Nokia Maps for Windows Phone to a GB£12M healthcare system. I'd say I have a fairly excellent understanding of what works in theory, and what works in reality. There is no interest or intention to de-humanise anything. In fact I swing pretty hard the other way. Consider a presentation I gave on the human aspects of architecture - http://www.wittenburg.co.uk/Entry.aspx?id=d5002929-97b2-4902-9eb0-71befdf961de http://www.wittenburg.co.uk/Entry.aspx?id=d5002929-97b2-4902....
