As a follow up on the previous post. There are few things I consider as important for software architects. I wouldn't go as far as to call them axioms but I still think they are worthwhile.

  • Think Hollistically

  • It is always a trade-off !

  • Pay attention to your soft skills

  • Get SPAMMED for architecture
