There are two factors:<BR/><BR/>1. It is impossible to learn properties of components without coding work. So even if architect was a coder sometime ago, his skill may become out-dated very quickly.<BR/><BR/>2. There is no effective way of development supervision without participation in the process.Gurneyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09326323020559522679noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-9203557.post-88693069150941101482008-06-02T01:05:00.000+01:002008-06-02T01:05:00.000+01:00MOVE HOUSE !

IMHO because who selected them for the role hasn't been a coder too, and probably don't understand really risks of not well designed systems. Another time the chicken-and-egg situation :)<BR/>And I'm not sure that a marketing man would select architect for his house using your priorities...hoping he will be at home after some months or years...:DAnonymousnoreply@blogger.com
