Having been independant/freelance for 5 years or so, and having also had plenty of exposure to perm positions, I've been exposed to many views on what an "Architect" really is. As a result, I've coined t...

What type of machine you ask? A machine that measures wedge and roundness of lenses. I've already written software for the machine and it is in production, but it is brittle and prone to lock ups when they dont do things in the right order.
