The Job of a Software Architect
This thought came to me yesterday at lunch time after having one of those protracted arguments between developers and marketroids where the software architect (me) has to explain why that feature they seem to want is literally impossible to implement given that we are not 1) Microsoft or 2) working on a 10 year development schedule:
The job of a software architect is to burst as many bubbles as possible, as soon as possible.
I think that pretty much sums up half of what I do now.. the other half being trying to implement the rest of what is only marginally possible.
