In the world of software development, success in software development does not only depend on the ability of individuals, but also depends on the team and the seamless collaboration of all individuals who make up a team with different responsibilities, the same goal, in this context, I will try to distinguish important collaborations based on my experience working as a Software Engineer.
I spent my whole life looking for best practices, starting from experimenting with my interim lead position and I learned from my boss how they managed the team into several positions, this gave me the idea to write this blog, which became a lesson on how collaboration is important in the software development process.
if you dont know what masbro, capybara is popular in my country and we called it Masbro
Capybara is a social animal, living in large groups, getting along well and cooperating, and can live with other species. Despite being prey to predators, it does not show aggressiveness. This is important: it is not aggressive and is able to adapt to its environment, interacting well with the local population.
Unlike the honey badger, although it is bitten by a poisonous snake, it does not kill it. However, its aggressiveness scares other animals and it cannot live with other creatures.
Here I explain why it is important to build an organized team to maintain performance and achieve requirements, by different responsibilites:
Architecture: Laying the Foundation
Architecture serves as the backbone of any software system. Like a master blueprint, it establishes best practices, design principles, and technical guidelines that guarantee scalability, security, and maintainability. Architects are visionaries who anticipate future challenges, balancing innovation with practicality.
However, architecture is not created in isolation. Effective architects collaborate with stakeholders, product managers, and engineers to align technical decisions with business goals. By encouraging open dialog, they ensure architecture remains adaptable, avoiding the “ivory tower” mindset of the lone honeybadger.
Platform: Translate Bussiness to Platform
Once the architectural guidelines are established, the platform team steps in to define the business rules and frameworks that bring those principles to life. The platform acts as a bridge between high-level design and implementation, providing tools, APIs, and reusable components that standardize development and collaboration with stakeholder or product how to achieve requirement by PRD, platform will implement PRD from Product to Task with architecture rules.
Enginer: Convert Abstraction for Reality
engineer is the builders who turn abstract concepts into functional features. Their role is not just about writing code, it's about ensuring compliance with architectural guidelines and platform rules while innovating within those boundaries.
Cross-functional meetings, shared documentation, and an error-free culture are key. When teams operate like capybaras supportive, communicative, and united, they create resilient systems that evolve with changing needs.
Conclusion
We are not going to discuss what is the best technical framework or library, everyone has their own function, there are their own responsibilities, it seems that we can implement Single responsibility in this work so that the team runs more efficiently.
If the responsibilities are too overlapping, there can be “too many cooks in the kitchen” so that decisions are slow, work can overlap, or even someone is confused about who should handle what. But if everyone focuses on their role and there is good communication between sections, the work system can be smoother, focus on your team, you are the experts.
