I am the lead architect of a public facing data platform for a fortune 500 company. I influence over 60 engineers through my team of architects, and indirectly influence countless other teams deploying to our platform. My background is start-ups.
We do not suffer the failure modes you describe in your second paragraph.
I love my job.
- eridius 11y agoI take it "data platform" means server-side work? I was guessing that was your line of work. In my experience, server-side programming and native client software (applications, frameworks, or systems) are pretty radically different in a lot of non-obvious ways. I think this might be one of them.
- dools 11y agoAfter reading this thread (and others from lowbloodsugar) I would say that I disagree with you here and what I do is similar to what you do. Specifically, I think that architectural choices are only important in a planning phase when they affect how people will collaborate. Architectural choices such as data or system design within that collaborative framework are irrelevant to anything you don't have to build right away.
