              Me!

              My systems architecture skills are lower that used at the asylum camp at Calais.
              How did this happen? Who's to blame? Well certainly there are those more responsible than others, and they will be held accountable, but again truth be told, if you're looking for the guilty, you need only look into a mirror.

                    My experience has shown that an "arcitect" usually falls into one of the two following descriptions

                    * A top notch individual (contractor or permie) that ClientCo really wants to keep hold of, so they give them a new title as a reason to justify giving them more dosh.

                    * A jumped up egotistical twunt
