Companies get overwhelmed by the complexity, rather than lose focus.
They seem to lose focus when what is really happening is that they are searching for the next "guru" that will give them the "silver bullet" solution.
Managers need to be more educated as to what the SDLC is and what the impact is on building software in-house. Normally when companies build software in-house they have moved away from their core business activity into a realm that they really do not understand.
(I am not advocating outsourcing, but I am advocating educating senior managers)

Those are both very good and valid points.

Good analyse with consistent arguments. I agree with you... up to "Good Software Architects will WANT have NOT to code, because they love it must find the best coders and must recognize their best solutions for the project which he defines with its best experiment!" So I agree for its huge culture! But it doesn't have to be a good Mason but just know what a Mason can do best and how to do it."

I still believe that "Good Software Architects will WANT to code", whether they actually get the time to do that is another story.
You seem to be arguing that an Software Architect does not need to know how to "code up an enterprise level solution".
That I would total disagree with!
Enterprise level software applications are too complex to only theorise about their design, without practical long term hands on experience in actually building solution experience.
Therein lies the issue and the problem senior non-technical managers face today: having to listen to "software architects" that have never "coded up an enterprise level solution".
The lack of University level master degrees (unlike Building Architects)
AND an industry that is still more craft than science ( at enterprise business solutions)
(not even a software apprenticeship like Masons have)
AND the technical complexity that are in enterprise software solutions
can only really be counted by the Software Architect having decades of hands on, wide ranging (different business, different industries), in-depth experience.
Without that experience, the Software Architect will be relying upon Senior Developers to perform tasks he/she should do or to know answers to issues that he/she should know or lead non-software stakeholders to the correct solution when he/she should convince and lead.
I think that a great deal of thought needs to go into this.
Also, don't confuse the "Solution Architect" with the Software Architect as they are completely different. The "Solution Architect" deals with the Business Solution, not the Software, Hardware, Networking Solutions.

No not the stupid elections, this -
Greek singer Demis Roussos, who sold more than 60 million albums worldwide, has died aged 68 the Hygeia Hospital in Athens has confirmed to the BBC.
And on a totally unrelated note, the page also has these two worrying facts -
Aunty: To make you feel old, Britney Spears scored her first number one on the US Billboard chart 16 years ago this week, with the ellipsis-assisted ...Baby One More Time.
To make you feel even older, Blondie's The Tide Is High was number one 34 years ago this week!

I have to be honest, I run Java software and develop using Java, and I don't recall the Ask? problem for many moons.

It's blighted every update I've seen at home (on the infrequent cases where I connect a screen to the normally headless box I have a java bot running on) and work for years (on the even rarer cases when Corporate IT decides the last version they bothered to push is exploity enough to be worth updating).
If you know where to find an updater that will install a version that doesn't prompt to install malware every time, please let me know where it's available from.

TY. I've sent a suggestion that IT should see if they can use their management tools to make that the company default setting.

Thank you! That looks incredibly useful. I just hope it works.
According to my calculations, I should be able to retire about 5 years after I die.

Cool. Though it still pisses me off that Java (not that they're alone in this) make it so all this sponsor crap is installed by default. There's been a few times when I've clicked through (especially when you have to click on Custom Install to even see the damn crapware) without realizing what it was doing.
