definition 1

"architecture is a social thing"

definition 2

Statements:

Counters:

1) moral: we need to be professional

-> if you take that line, you've lost

-> craftsmanship vs economics => economics wins

2) what is quality

internal quality is more long-term

Design Stamina Hypothesis

slows down to add new functionality

economic reason 'why software architecture is important'

-> stealing ability to compete
