Robert RoskamHow would you describe "software architecture" to a person with 0 experience coding?
The Cheese@raiderrobert I would think the same way I would explain a regular architect to someone with no construction experience.
@thecheese cool. What would you explain that as then?
@raiderrobert Designing a structure to be functional and stable and safe to meet a required purpose. As a software architect you plan the design and structure of the system then the developers write the code to do the specific things.
furicle@furicle maybe it's telling....but I'm on a vacation and this is what I'm doing with my time. 🙃
Daniel Quinn@raiderrobert I like metaphors.
Imagine you're running a kitchen in a restaurant. Given an expected rate of input of orders and an expected rate of output of food, you need to design your kitchen such that everything Just Worksâ„¢.
You'll need a dude making sauces at an expected throughput, another person on a grill that has a certain capacity and is limited to certain foods, wait staff, notifications, etc etc...
Something like that.
