Trisha Gee (@trisha_gee) Java Champion & Developer Advocate Career Advice
for Architects
Define “Architect”
The hardest single part of building a software system is
deciding precisely what to build. No Silver Bullet: Essence and Accidents of Software Engineering Frederick P. Brooks, Jr.
Everyone is an architect these days (Sorry)
You
Required Skills
Asking Questions Listen to the answers!
“Good Communication Skills” Talking to computers is the easy bit
Adaptability And being open minded
Prioritisation And time management
Technology Skills I guess
Be aware If you perform non-technical activities too well, you
may be moved into a non-technical role
Scaling
Pair Programming Mob Programming
Code Reviews Code walkthroughs
20% Time But actually use it!
Community Support Give back to the community
Book Club With feedback sessions
Internal Learning Sessions Internal User Groups
Conferences User Groups
You don’t need to be In Charge to apply these
Your responsibility as an architect is to share
Benefits of Sharing
Backup and Redundancy Specialisation and silos are a risk
Increase Team Productivity Teach 9 others your skills to be
10x more productive
Retention …and recruitment
It helps you to learn …and it makes you look
great
In Summary
Your key skills are not technical
To scale your skills, share them
Sharing makes you Look Good
