one thing I don't agree with is that architecture is not a copy and paste. It is a soul of your whole coding project. A proper architectural can help to save your time debug while on the flip side it just make your debugging hard and impossible

But what if the architecture was created long before you joined the project?

then you might review that architecture to understand why it designed in such way, right! It might not be right, but it will be a good start. If it is bad, then copy and paste simply just brought the bad design over, which made your debug a nightmare
