The Better Architecture Project

Oh it’s great to be back! I do apologize that it took me a year and a half to publish the season finale for Diversify Please! But, I’m not sorry about it – I was saving my own ass before I could ask others to save theirs!

The last season takes one final attempt at explaining why diversifying out of architecture is perfectly okay, and is possibly, necessary a step for the overall ecosystem to continue rolling smoothly. This one is calm, and for one last time in this season, asks all those who want to – to move out of core architecture practice.

Remember SRK’s dialogue? “Koi bhi dhanda chota nahi hota hai, aur dhande se bada koi dharam nahi hota hai”…

Season Two dropping soon!
