At the end of the day your job as an architect is to magnify the productivity of the engineers.  It is entirely possible to create an architecture that is intuitive, decoupled and resilient to changing requirements, but is downright laborious&#x2F;unpleasant to work with.<p>One analogy that I like is to kitchen design.  You can design a beautiful kitchen with lots of features and counter space using all the latest features, but if you don&#x27;t cook you won&#x27;t understand kitchen usability.  For instance, counter space should be centrally located between the sink, trash disposal, refrigerator&#x2F;cabinets and range.  You also won&#x27;t realize how important it is to have strong direct lighting over the counter space.
