> In a properly functioning org, the lead developers working on that project would have made many of these decisions.
Even though I’m not an architect, a lot of applicable points from me as a contractor. I’d add that it’s not just decision making but also documenting the decision and reasoning in a living document that’s key to institutional knowledge.
In 2017 I was offered this architect role in an organization I didn't accept. I knew I would code a lot less for more money, but somehow I didn't see that paying off in the long run.
So far, I only have upsides from how many different things I can do, and I'm really glad I didn't narrow myself down to this architect role.
Your video of echoing the melody of native speech is cool, Janahan! It brought another level of clarity to the whole practice of learning a new language you've been talking about. Very interesting stuff!

If it wasn't so tragically painful, this would have been funny.

Loved this issue!
