I’ve heard the opinion from many technical leaders that it is reasonable to expect a new hire to take upto 6 months to learn about the code, the domain, and the architecture before they become fully productive. I believe that self-documenting architecture would dramatically reduce one of the big costs in software development.

I believe that attitude towards the design of code and architecture is one of them. In my experience, the culture is better and the results are better in orgs where engineers and architects obsess over the design of code and architecture. So we need to make it part of everything we do.

If every significant architecture decision has business consequences, then knowing the business model and which trade-offs to choose is maybe the most important skill of architects. But what is the actual relationship between a business model and a software architecture? It’s not just about business models and architecture, though.
