The architect who codes — a new role without a name
For most of my career, architecture and engineering were treated as separate disciplines — one draws the map, the other builds the road. That gap is closing, and I think it's closing faster than most organizations realize.
This piece explores what that shift means for how we hire, how we structure teams, and what we should expect from the people sitting at the intersection of both. The best architects today can move fluidly between designing systems and implementing them. That's not a trend — it's becoming the expectation.
