Building A Boat

So the same guy who taught me the excellent Terminator Metric also taught me the following thing about the stages of being a software engineer:

• A junior developer you throw them in the lake and they don't know how to swim but they learn to tread water
• A senior developer is someone who learned to tread water and then teaches themselves to swim.
• An architect teaches themselves to swim and then builds a boat and starts sailing around.

To all this I say: you know the shipwrecks are the best places to go for free rum, don't you?
