I had a quote from this old @spolsky post in my slides at #OReillySACon today; check it out, it’s just as great as it was 17 years ago joelonsoftware.com/2001/04/2…

Say it ain't so. I still consider that one of the worst and most harmful (considering his influence) articles written in the space.

It probably very much depends on where you’re coming from. If people do too little architecture, and take this as confirmation, I see your point. If you regularly have to deal with astronauts, it’s a breath of fresh air

I hear you, but the sad truth is that most people don't know enough about architecture to distinguish an astronaut from a helpful architect. That said, I agree with Joel that if they don't code, that's indicative of the former.
