There is a thing called "a coding architect". It basically means that you're a programmer just like any other, but you have more responsibility on the overall architecture of the project.
Sure, I've seen plenty of these "documentation architects" who don't produce that much value, but that's not the only type of architect out there.
- ecopoesis 12y agoA coding architect sounds like a great idea. I'd love to meet one and hire them.
- msolujic 12y agoNot a unicorn as one might think. Most of senior stuff in our consultancy shop ware software architect hat at very beginning of software project, and later on do fair share of coding, mostly critical stuff.
- calebm 12y agoAt the company I work for, they strive to hire this role (which is what I do). "Architects who code". Definitely the way to go. As a software consultant, I should also note that I have worked with a number of Architects who don't code, and in every case, they took away more than they added.
- notduncansmith 12y agoThis is pretty much the definition of "senior developer" at my company. I didn't know that was abnormal.
- vidanay 12y agoYeah, It's pretty much the definition of what I do every day.
- smurph 12y agoThat sounds like a regular lead developer, but I agree a good lead dev is worth more than any software architect.
