Architecture

• It's a pun, see, because a shack generally lacks architecture...
• I'm interested in the concept / ideals of software architecture, and I even had the term architect in my job title for a few years!
• It's deliberately ambiguous with "Architect's Hack" - my grand master plan is to invent a hack called the Architect's Hack, which will be so cool that this domain will suddenly become priceless and I will be able to retire from the proceeds of selling it. We all want to be "hackers" at heart, right? (this is all my wife's fault, btw)
