Term: Brownian Architect
Related Terms: Brownian Architecture
Noun:
Application architect that makes snap decisions for various design problems by using the first design pattern that comes to mind without regard to long term effects or maintaining an overall architectural plan. Applications managed by Browning Architects are characterized by Brownian Architecture.
Strategy for Avoiding Brownian Architecture:
The primary way to produce a coherent architecture when dealing with a Brownian Architect is to employ a Brownian Motor. The concept is to ignore architectural decisions and continue to discuss the design problem until the Brownian Architect randomly lands on the correct decision. Note that great deal of energy must be spent to produce a coherent architecture in this way.
