Nothing about the Architect's success was accidental. Every detail was engineered, measured, and optimized. They challenged the people around them to meet a standard that didn't exist before they set it.
Vocal, empirical, confrontational, and structured — they hold the blueprint and the bar, and neither is up for debate.
