At work today I remarked to a friend that the name "Architecture" can apply to some software in the same way that "Building" can apply to a beaver dam.
Both seem to have been thrown together by animals, subject to the forces of nature, inherited by a long line of animals with differrent ideas on how building should be done, do the job they are intended to do with results that depend on the weather or the phase of the moon and are often adversely affected by rot.
The only good thing is that you can get rid of bad software without dynamite and without upsetting a bunch of bleeding-heart ecologists.
