What kind of architect am I?
When I was young I wanted to become an architect ;-). But whenever this goal came closer, the target became more obscure. What is an architect? What I thought an architect did, seemed more a software designers function, while architects did infrastructural stuff and application selection and more. Since a while I know that Enterprise Architects, Infrastructure Architects and Application Architects each do high-profile work but require very different skills. Yet, in my projects I'm oftenly faced with challenges that requires bits of all skills. Which left me wondering for a while which of the three I actually am or will become.
But now Simon Guest proposed a good way to lighten up the discussion. It's not black and white, I'm floating somewhere in the middle. But now the question still remains where I should place the dot. Which is something I will think about...
