Who needs an Architect?

“We have met the enemy, and he is us.” Human beings are symbolic animals, we give an interpretation of our observation, recognizing everything as a symbol, creating concepts in order to give meaning to our existence. At first creating certain laws that rule our reality because each concept and law we created makes sense in our own interpretation, from that we continued creating more and more concepts and laws which are based in our preview interpretation, being the architecture of our whole understanding. Society has become the architect of every brick that constructs reality, and the architect is the one who makes the important decisions in order to continue the construction.

With one building which has an established basis, and with the expansion during the course of time, it is difficult or even impossible to make changes into the functionality and shape, it could have slightly modifications but it will never change the structure at its roots, the complexity of this system is limited by the abstraction of the architecture, it is limited by the established basis, which is the root of the whole block. The process to change its functionality and shape it merely improbable, it is irreversible. In order to create something new, a whole new system should be created.

Maybe our reality is intangible, but as we create concepts and laws we alter our own interpretation of the universe and the universe itself, creating what we called reality. As we discover more and more through science, our minds are stimulated by different concepts that puts in dispute our comprehension and gives us different approach to what the universe really is.

Who needs an architect? Well, society has become the architect of this global system, we had become the architects of our own life. Reality “is limited by imagination, by design, by organization. In short, it is limited by properties of people, not by properties of the world.”

“What makes a component significant? It is significant because the expert developers say so.”

Software Craftsmanship

Software Craftsmanship can be seen as a methodology in order to create good software, which has strong key elements that established the measures and techniques to create professional software development. It is the strong and complete philosophy to practice and helping others learn this craft, and as the Software Craftsmanship Manifesto ( http://manifesto.softwarecraftsmanship.org/ ) established some “rules” that completes this task. Such as the work on software that has to be performed to a well-crafted software, the response to change and the steadily adding value, the relationship between individuals and interactions and through the community of professionals developing software and finally customer collaboration with also productive partnership. Software Craftsmanship has a strong structure that can help the software industry in order to produce software quality, this philosophy can be applied in other topics. During the podcast with Bob Martin, or well known as “Uncle Bo...

Microservices

Adaptability is always the answer, depending on the environment is how everything else is going to adapt. In the case of micro services, it is known by a new model for the big monolith replacement, but it is not a replacement, is just another type of architecture that had its benefits because certain features it has, but ensuring that micro services is the only path to follow, causes a problem, this architecture is proper for specific scenarios. In the industry, the massive over use of a new technology is often, for newer creations comes the extended massive usage. At this point other creations or technology can be developed to enter the competition scenario, for now, the old monolithic model is left behind, while micro services models are more used and potential growth is heading that way. As mention before, for some scenarios is viable using micro services, but in not the only alternative, it always depend on what is being worked on. It is true that segmentation and modulation can d...

WarGames

How far technology can go? It is an often question everyone ask, including such philosophical questions about we humans and our creations, just like our Frankenstein Monster, our creation could bring chaos to ourselves. We have the power to create and the limit of our creation could be bypass by that same creation. This movie called War Games, bring this topic and it is an actual matter, and now even more because now a days technology had reached tremendous power and capacity that is very impressive, some tasks that we humans cannot do, or maybe as fast, are done by our own creation. Just like the arguments of the Android David in the movies Prometheus and Alien Covenant, David reached a conscious level that defined him to be as he was and committing every action during the movie. It is that self evolution that keeps growing and it hasn’t the same limits as human interpretation has. Another example is this classic movie 2001 A Space Odyssey, from S. Kubrik, HAL 9 000, who has e...
