Archibabble
Okay, so Mel may be the only one who reads this.....
I keep waiting for the AIA to start laying down some bitchsmack on the tech industry. (Note that I have no vindictive feelings towards the tech-world) Why? Well. The AIA which is the governing body of the architecture profession (or something like that) takes the name 'Architect' very seriously. I am not allowed to call myself an Architect. Okay, so it's one thing in a bar at 11pm over beers...but to have yourself published as an 'Architect'? Oh my, they will hunt you down and file action against you.
I had a boss in the wayback days of NC who loved to look for such transgressions and report them.
Anyways. The tech-world has started to appropriate the name 'architect' and 'architecture'. It certainly makes sense with regards to the meaning of the word in the dictionary and as they use it. But I also wonder how much of it is borrowing the mystique and glamor (snort) of 'architect'. Looks like 'architect' is just a synonym for 'programmer' these days.
Anyways. I keep waiting for the catfight to start. (trainwreck anyone?) AIA likes to get their panties in a wad over stupid things.
This also has impact on me. I cannot do a job search for 'architect' or 'architecture' without apprx. 95% of the job listings being in the tech world.
