The word architect according the Meriam-Webster is “a person who designs and guides a plan or undertaking”. But is this the only thing a software architect needs to do?
An architect who designs buildings does not need to worry about the construction man and how or what he/she thinks or feels about the design. A building architect’s blueprints will always be executed meticulously.
But a software architect needs to massage the developers egos. He needs to learn how to play politics sometimes.
My word of advise to all new architects:
- Kill your ego
- Learn how to communicate
- Be generous with your explanations
- Always have a PoC done
