Hello Everyone ,
I would like to ask for your support. I am a PhD student working on software architecture. I am currently exploring how developers search for architectural information in software development. I conduct a survey to investigate how architectural
information is searched, how the usefulness of retrieved architectural information is assessed, etc., to support development tasks, and the challenges developers face. This questionnaire will take about 5-10 minutes. All the responses will be anonymized
and we will not share your personal information with anyone else. The results of the survey will be shared with all the participants via the email addresses recorded. To do this, we need YOUR opinion! The survey is at:

Architecture as a separate discipline, in fact architecture uber alles, i.e as the queen of technical activities, was invented by the vendors a couple of decades ago and, of course, it's all about tools and tooling: so you look up your preferred vendor'
s documentation and that's software architecture nowadays, and the royal disasters...
The beginner should rather be made aware that "architecture", i.e. technologies and tools, is by far *not* the most critical aspect of a software project...
Your survey even reflects how the industry now conflates architecture and design: so called architectural and design patters belong to software design. The "architecture" you talk about instead was invented by the vendors as the discipline of picking up
technologies and tools, just pushed to the market to become the queen of technical activities: on a side expunging analysis proper from the technical office (which is by far the major source of low quality and disasters, indeed the original sin and
chronical frauds of all the fake agility), on the other side subsuming design proper, to conflate it again with some shopping from the vendors' catalogues (i.e. down to the shopping for patters).
The inversion of all that counts! Indeed, that's just a scrap of the horror story that not just the software industry has become.
