Back in the day (70's - 90's), the programmer filled all of the roles associated with software development - architect, engineer, developer, and tester. Programmers were usually good at one or two of the tasks, but may suck at the others (with emphasis on testing).

OMG my baby was ugly and I just couldn't see it.
But then you can make them beautiful again.
How good is that.

So true. Never look back.

Same with doctors too. Back then, there were very few specialists. Today, we have not just specialists, but super-specialists. It would not be surprising to find the wrist and the palm being two different super-specialisations.

Something like an 'expert'?
An 'ex' is a has-been, and a 'spurt' is a drip under pressure
A human being should be able to change a diaper, plan an invasion, butcher a hog, navigate a ship, design a building, write a sonnet, balance accounts, build a wall, set a bone, comfort the dying, take orders, give orders, cooperate, act alone, solve equations, analyze a new problem, pitch manure, program a computer, cook a tasty meal, fight efficiently, die gallantly. Specialization is for insects! - Lazarus Long

Another (old) definition of "expert" is anyone from somewhere else.

The last time I bought a technical book must've been over five years ago.
I ordered Clean Architecture without hesitation.
At your recommendation I added Design It! to my wish list.
If it doesn't hold up to my huge expectations I know where to find you MUWHAHAHAHA

I think what the author meant here is:
For example, you might assign functional responsibilities by designing one component to register mice, and another component using registered mice to identify pictures of cats.

I did it for awhile. I learned some things, but I feel better in front of a keyboard and a nice warm compiler
When I was growin' up, I was the smartest kid I knew. Maybe that was just because I didn't know that many kids. All I know is now I feel the opposite.

Very good, well done (assuming it's correct).

Fashion should have had a ? after it as it would then intimate a form of fashion which in this case was casual - nice clue though

Ah, so that's what the question mark means, example of. I guess that would make more sense, although in this case might ruin the flow of the clue.
Would you be able to workaround it be doing something like this, do you think?
