Do you think architects need years of experience with implementation first? Or can you train someone to design good code from the start, and have them quickly go to architecture without really ever being a developer?
What the third option for?
Building architecture is more relevant than 🍿
I became an architect like everyone else: building things and marveling at how wrong I was. Over and over, in a span of a decade+. You can tell somebody how to build a system that scales, but until you feel the pain of doing it wrong directly it doesn’t really stick.
Nice try, OCI manager. No, the new hire from BYU can’t architect your infrastructure
😁
They could do it, you will be hamstrung.
