Show IH: Arquitecto Software, the software architect that never sleeps (Beta)

There's so much politics involved in architectural choices and discussions those who fail to account for that are going to have a hard time.

The combination of bounded rationality, fiefdoms and resume driven development basically make software engineering an unsustainable, slow burning, high paced clusterfuck.

Tech is > 90% not a tech problem.

Hmm... I tried making choices where Erlang/Elixir were obvious choices (e.g. real-time with concurrency, scalability and reliability as goals) and got back some pretty eyebrow-raising suggestions but nothing running on the Erlang VM and not even the next best alternatives like Scala/Akka. Next, I tried making some choices specifying use-cases other stacks were essentially custom-built to solve and again they didn't show up (Julia for high-perf research-related tasks). Similarly, selecting gaming with the goals of performance, flexibility, reusability and portability should recommend something like C++ and Vulkan but instead it's suggesting Java Spring Boot...)

This isn't a criticism of your work, but more an indication that the problem you're trying to solve is nearly impossible. It would likely take general AI to successfully replace a CTO's judgement in choosing tech stacks (though a rule-based system could theoretically cover every permutation you now list through brute force).

Amazing idea and execution! Congratulations for the launch @AlanMaker :-)

As a user I wished I could specify two more things:

• Scale of the project (from prototype to large scale deployment)
• Language(s) of choice. Maybe in an order of preference, since some projects by nature require several languages.

That's ridiculous, every solution is service oriented.
Unless you've some highly advanced ai going on I doubt this thing will make any sort of educated guess.

cool :-)
Just checked my own architecture definition and got your tools approval :-)
