How To Be A Software Architect

Posted on | October 22, 2009 | No Comments

I noticed a rather subjective question on Stack Overflow today, someone wanted to know the ‘best way’ of moving away from being a software developer and in to being a software architect.

I was about to reply, but the first answer I saw really said it all:

Stop doing anything that might be misconstrued as “useful” and get some metal business cards pressed with your new title.

Thanks to stacker NSD for the humor.
