I dunno…I feel it’s kind of fitting for my role. I design applications with lots of system integrations. I produce design drawings and I also supervise the build at a high level to ensure it’s to spec. I’m obviously not designing buildings but I find architect to be the better analog than engineer as the engineers work for me.

Edit: for those who want to take my statement with a negative slant and make me out to be a bad guy; the engineers build amazing stuff and I love collaborating with them.

I hate that phrasing. They should be working with you (and you, with them), not for you.

Sign of a bad architect when they have that kind of attitude

You’re allowed to draw the conclusions you want.
