Did you tap them on the shoulder and say “look, idk how to tell you this, but your a huge dork for wearing that shirt”?

I have met many peeps working in the role of any type of architecture in software dev. I have even met technical architects without, wait for it, any software development experience. Those are a real kicker. Turns out many times that they just a req analyst or pm or some human guessing wildly. Don’t know software. In many projects, they get away with it. 🤷🏼‍♂️

I have turned down many request as ”lead … architect”/whatever in projects because it was really what the job was about.

Clowns just wants a name in a RACI!

It is a circus!
