It's pronounced Diane. I do data architecture, operations, and backend development. In my spare time I maintain Massive.js, a data mapper for Node.js and PostgreSQL.
I have several years of experience creating products, and I disagree emphatically. As a software architect (or at least when wearing that particular hat), it's my job to think about how a given product will end up looking when it hits the market. The picture evolves based on feedback and shifting requirements, but it's still a picture representing the same fundamental idea. And that fundamental idea, the process of thought that the product itself is supposed to embody, is an idea about information. How you organize, store, and retrieve that information is one of the first critical decisions you make in the course of bringing the product to life. Agility, minimum viability, and so forth are great ways to minimize risk and iterate safely, but they don't excuse you from thinking about what you're doing.
