Sean,
I do appreciate the importance of distinguishing between
developers/programmers and information architects. The context was
originally used as a joke simply because of my current title.
While I understand how an information architect could be a full
time job, the company I'm with is currently small (i.e. two people) so
the information architect is also the developer/DBA/etc. We try to
convey that idea that we take use and structure of information as a
serious topic. After seeing some of the other web companies I've worked
for and worked with, this idea seems to be among a dying breed of
"best"... er... even "pretty good" practices.
