I enjoyed the article, but the unintentional Easter egg at the end left me in stitches: the link to “If Architects had to work like Programmers” just 404s, which feels spot on.

The text to "If Architects had to work like Programmers" has been around for 20-30 years.

You can find the text at many websites. Here is one from 1997: https://www.inf.ed.ac.uk/teaching/courses/seoc2/1997_1998/ar... It's a fun read.

What’s really funny is that this doesn’t sound far off from the reality of what architects (the house kind) actually have to deal with.

most of this holds up really well except for

> Do not worry at this time about acquiring the resources to build the house itself. Your first priority is to develop detailed plans and specifications. Once I approve these plans, I would expect the house to be under roof within 48 hours.

..nowadays would be more like:

> The MVP should be move-in-ready ASAP at which point we shall move into the house and live there while you complete the remaining requirements.
