The career path for a developer is usually pretty clear. Then it goes: senior developer, lead developer or technical architect, and then team lead.
It’s not so much about the career path, but solution architects are often designing things which impact the developer and so having people in that role that have that background and therefore can appreciate what can make the developers’ lives better,” Hodgson said, pointing to how an essential piece of RedHat OpenShift is providing an efficient developer experience.
What makes a good architect is actually understanding that software is there to serve business, that you build for the long run, that having empathy for everyone involved helps build better systems,” he said.
Another way to reinforce learning — and to show your aptitude as an architect — is to blog or give talks.
