Ron Jeffries on Architecture

From ScrumDevelopment Yahoo Group:

Someone who is all into architecture, especially if they mostly don't get to code it, are probably already worried that their ideas may be too little, too late, or may be screwed up in the implementation.

Now, everyone is being asked to believe that architecture can be grown. That's hard to take in, without experience. And the experience of doing architecture up front is already pretty poor ... things never seem to turn out as well as the architect imagined. He imagines that he needs to do more architecture next time, not less.

And he's right. The thing is, architecture needs to be done throughout the project, not just at the beginning. It needs to be done in view of what the code is, not just what it will someday maybe be.

Did we all get that? It needs to be done in view of what the code is, not just what it will someday mabye be.
