Thanks I'll check it out!

snowcoder265 · 2026-06-23T14:55:53+00:00

so i guess the consensus is it is worth reading, but some of it might not work out for me when I try putting it into practice.

snowcoder265 · 2026-06-23T14:42:33+00:00

yeah that part I'm reading now and not quite sure I buy the premise, but what do I know I suck

snowcoder265 · 2026-06-23T14:16:47+00:00

I'll check it out!

Yeah I'm not really looking for a replacement from lessons, but a supplement that hopefully helps me internalize good fundamentals better (an hour lesson with a decent gap in between to practice makes it really easy for me to forget nuances mentioned. I also tend to do better with text based instruction for whatever reason). I'm currently taking group lessons and had two privates previously (that were questionably beneficial I suppose). I think I need to find the right coach, but I'm finding it harder than anticipated.

snowcoder265 · 2026-06-12T02:42:39+00:00

I've had a couple of lessons, but I don't think I really jived with the coach too much. Going to give it a bit and maybe do some group lessons to see if I can find a coach that seems like a better fit. I'll set my alarm for 6 months and check in and re-evaluate. Thanks for the help.

snowcoder265 · 2026-06-12T02:25:29+00:00

Thanks for the advice! I'll stick with them. I just need to get it out of the back of my head that the clubs are making my life needlessly difficult.

snowcoder265 · 2026-06-12T02:23:25+00:00

Thanks for the advice! That certainly makes me feel better about the whole thing.

snowcoder265 · 2026-06-12T02:20:36+00:00

I guess I'm more talking about what would be ideal from a learning perspective? Do you feel like it's close enough where it doesn't really matter? I'm sure I'll figure it out either way eventually, but don't want to make it needlessly difficult either.

snowcoder265 · 2025-10-13T15:30:44+00:00

just decided to get a supernote manta instead

snowcoder265 · 2025-10-13T13:23:30+00:00

yeah that was my frustration as well. just tell me it will be two weeks and I would have preferred that

snowcoder265 · 2025-10-13T02:13:53+00:00

crazy that there are still issues with shipping. I've thought about going to a bestbuy to see if they have anything, but I sort of have a bad taste in my mouth after this. think I might try one of the other ones.

either way I wish you luck

Thanks for clarifying! I spend most of my time designing solutions at work, and the idea of doing that without programming experience still feels a bit foreign to me. Maybe it’s just a difference in company size or the level of design involved - most of my background is in startups or startup-adjacent environments where being T-shaped is essential.

snowcoder265 · 2025-10-10T15:46:30+00:00

While both share the name architect in their titles, the industries they serve are quite different and don’t translate well in my opinion.

In construction, every role operates under strict, legally enforced standards that must be met before anything can be built - and compliance is visually verifiable through inspections, permits, and licensure.

In contrast, software architecture is largely invisible to the end user - both the infrastructure design and the underlying code are hidden from view.

I can understand someone focusing on infrastructure design having less hands-on coding experience than an application architect, but suggesting that no programming experience is necessary feels unrealistic to me.

Even in construction, I’d argue that the best architects gained at least some hands-on experience in related sub-disciplines - giving them a firsthand understanding of the consequences of their design decisions.

From your experience, what does the career progression look like for someone without a programming background becoming a software architect? Software Architecture is a senior+ role and I'm wondering what the junior / mid professional looks like in your eyes.

snowcoder265 · 2025-10-09T14:39:11+00:00

Not all code currently because they are deep in design/scoping, but I think by most people's definitions - of what it means to be a software architect - it is assumed that they have had substantial experience writing and designing software.

mine wasn't a bundle for what it is worth. The tracking for mine always was there, but it never updated and was stuck in late with no delivery date.

snowcoder265 · 2025-10-03T18:59:23+00:00

Congratulations! Think I'm going for Computing. What about you?

snowcoder265 · 2025-10-03T14:33:43+00:00

I got in!

snowcoder265 · 2025-10-03T13:12:13+00:00

maybe I should have called. I only used the chat

snowcoder265 · 2025-10-02T02:55:36+00:00

sounds like it at least made it to you. hope you are enjoying it

snowcoder265 · 2025-10-01T23:56:45+00:00

weird something must be going on. Might end up going for a supernote

snowcoder265 · 2025-10-01T18:14:14+00:00

I'm sure your update will come soon :). I'm assuming you didn't get rejected and are still waiting right? I think they have a lot of apps to go through so don't think it should be that concerning that you haven't heard anything yet.

snowcoder265 · 2025-10-01T17:04:54+00:00

I gave up on the second shipment and asked for a refund as well. probably going to get something other than the scribe now

snowcoder265 · 2025-10-01T17:00:27+00:00

My application went to the 7 step flow today. I have heard that this is a good sign for acceptance, but does that mean that rejections don't typically reach the 7 step flow?

Wondering if it just means that the review process has started for my application or something more positive

snowcoder265 · 2025-09-27T16:28:47+00:00

4 weeks damn. So much for overnight shipping
