Wow. In some ways, that's the worst possible answer. In my view, software architecture is what every developer contributes to, which means we have to be thoughtful about how we collaborate on it.

Every time I see a shop with designated Software Architects who hog the architecture work, it's a fucking mess. Because then Software Architects don't get rewarded in their careers for making software. They get rewarded for writing white papers and coming up with "brilliant" architectures and impressing executives who know less than them about technology. Which is mostly inversely correlated with actually making it easier for developers to get real work done.
