Do software architects really live in Ivory Towers, descending only to share their wisdom with the masses before returning to their inner sanctum? Our #ArmchairArchitects, Eric Charran (‪@mougue‬) and Uli Homman do their best to dispel these myths and more. Host David Blank-Edelman guides viewers through a humorous and analogy-laden conversation in this episode of the #AzureEnablementShow.
