Sadly enough I agree with this rather bleak assessment to a large degree. I don't believe that we're truly stuck with it though. Why have Agile and DevOps movements gained so much traction (hype)? For me it almost always comes down to the need for better collaboration between silos. Architects shouldn't be constrained unnecessarily by the mindset of devs or ops but if they are making design decisions that can never be implemented then time is being wasted. Wasted design time. Wasted processing time for the people handed it. And wasted time coming up with workarounds. Efforts to eradicate this waste, even in small amounts, are worthwhile and should be undertaken.
