It's stupid to conclude anything about an architect's skills because they do or do not call themselves "architects". #archflamebait

@stilkov Architecture - like so many other metaphors (mis)used in SW - doesn't exist. Therefore, neither do Architects. #qed

@logosity However lame the metaphor, what we commonly mean when we use the term definitely exists.

@stilkov In the code? I disagree. "Architecture" is simply an artifact of mental confusion arising from "reasoning via metaphor." #troll++

@logosity Good trolling :-)

@stilkov Humans see patterns in everything - if we can see ships & faces in clouds, deluding ourselves about patterns in code is much easier

@logosity Architecture is not about patterns. Architecture is what you tell me about if you have 30 minutes to explain your system.

@stilkov lower-case 'p' - s/patterns/structures/g
