On: Ask HN: Is the architect role less demanded in software than before?

[tkiolp4]

I’m always been very skeptical of software architects. Ideally, any software engineer with more than 10 years of experience should know enough and have the enough experience to be a decent architect. A team of 2 or 3 of these seniors won’t need the help of a dedicated architect.

I disagree.

There are plenty of senior engineers with 10+ years of industry expirience who only knows CRUD, and never built distributed systems or complex software systems.

I doubt. Depends on the industry you are operating.
