The challenge lies in making architectural knowledge accessible and comprehensible to the entire team, not just a few.

This tool will aim to bridge that gap by providing clear, visual representations of your deployed infrastructure, which can make the complexities of architecture more transparent and easier to understand. By centralizing this information, you can reduce the reliance on a few key individuals and make it easier for everyone to contribute and stay informed. This way, the plan becomes more than just a set of tasks—it becomes a shared understanding.

I don’t disagree that there is value in the accessibility of knowledge.

I cannot read sheet music. I lack such experience. That experience is earned from practice. Likewise architecture is a skill earned through practice. My experience has taught me:

1. It cannot be communicated to the inexperienced developer because they do not understand it. Sometimes they will pretend to understand it and just superimpose a hasty, wrong, interpretation on top of it that just reinforces some singular aspect of comfort.

2. When architecture is defined in terms of goals it is better understood by business owners and project managers than inexperienced developers. They may not understand the code and conventions but they can frame the second and third order consequences in terms of measures, risks, and effort.

3. You can generally identify those capable of architectural discussion by where they invest their interests. When the conversation never rises above syntax and vanity, as in how to write code, the higher level considerations of organization and structure become lost and lofty.

On point.

Do you think its possible to simpify architectures for most if not all involved? If so, how?
