Humor is a quality for an architect!

The following question and solution is from the preparation for the Sun Certfied Enterprise Architect (SCEA) from the Sun Learning Center:

You have the assignment to create a new architecture that will be used by your organization for all future web development. Which three characteristics are important when choosing a web application framework? (Choose three.)

A) Billing rates of framework consultants.

B) Code re-use.

C) Ease of Use.

D) It was featured in a computer magazine.

E) Industry acceptance.

F) We write our own web frameworks.

The solution:
Options B, C, E are correct. Options A,D are incorrect because they are not valid architectural concerns. Option F is incorrect because this is generally not the best solution as existing frameworks are well refined.

They didn't get the joke:

I don't think you can count someone even as a semi-decent java dev until he wrote his very own web framework at least once in his life.
