Not every project is a greenfield project. Very often you're inheriting a huge codebase of legacy production code, so you also need to account for that in your architecture as well.

Or at least you should account for that. I work with a dev team that is supposed to own a huge legacy codebase that we're dependent on a daily basis for using, but they are working on an entire new greenfield replacement and refuse to do any changes to it. Thanks guys, really glad you get to go off and have fun with new tech while I'm stuck in the stone ages.
