There's a point in every software engineers career, where they think "What's next?" Do they consider the role of an architect? Do they make a switch to a managerial role? Or deep dive into an individual contributor role? 

In this episode, I talk to Lee Atchison, who's not only an author and a video course trainer, he has been in the architect role for 20 years!  I pick his brain on questions that I've heard many people ask: What is a good next step for an experienced software engineer? How do they choose between a managerial role and an architect role? And if someone wants to be an architect, what do they have to do?   

All this and more in this episode of The Artifact.
