A lot of their focuses seem somewhat orthogonal to overall program architecture<br /><br />On the other hand, I think a lot of good higher-level developers have strong architecture skills. I think there's a lot more in common with those two disciplines, than there is between low-level programming, and super high level architecture and planning.Oleksi Derkatchhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00304588000327101991noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7972214731683804743.post-15972584785004896542011-03-15T23:16:20.397-04:002011-03-15T23:16:20.397-04:00I think you have to have a certain understanding o...I think you have to have a certain understanding of development to be a good architect (you can think of architecture, in a way, as coding in a higher-level language), but I don't think it holds that a better coder is NECESSARILY a better architect.<br /><br />Some people are pros at low-level programming, but they don't do so well in architecture. I think it takes a person who likes thinking about things in the abstract (you usually want to keep architectures abstract and extensible).<br /><br />It's probably more of a one-way relationship, though. While being a good coder should help with architecture, being a good architect probably won't make you a better coder.Ernest Surudohttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13331278793193866689noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7972214731683804743.post-30900393901810188022011-03-02T21:50:44.409-05:002011-03-02T21:50:44.409-05:00Pro-tip: Most real architects suck at civil engine...Pro-tip: Most real architects suck at civil engineering.Pwuhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01638294078504125748noreply@blogger.com
