📝Architect only suggests

The builder has the creative responsibility for implementation; the architect only suggests. —Brooks₁₉₉₅

[As an architect,] be ready to forgo credit for suggested improvements. —Brooks₁₉₉₅

Counterargument

This seems to be a suggestion to an outdated notion of an ivory tower architects. Today, it is more advisable for the architect to be more involved with the project and be part of the implementation team (Software design is better done by the implementation team). The non-attachment part is still good.
