Title: My company had some lateral movement which, somewhat surprisingly, resulted in me being promoted to &quot;Lead Architect&quot;. It&#x27;s just a fancy title because we don&#x27;t have any other designated software architects. There was, in any case, technical responsibility that needed to be redistributed, so that&#x27;s what happened, and titles shifted accordingly.<p>In the past, I had used my training budget for software architecture certifications, which was met positively by my team lead and management.<p>While I _wanted_ to take on that role _eventually_, I was surprised to have it happen so early. What are the things I need to learn ASAP? What things do I need to do? What should I study&#x2F;read?
