    Is that where Ted’s ego came from in HIMYM? I thought it was just Ted, but maybe all architects are horrible?

      That’s my experience, I framed houses for a few years after college and the architects thought they were gifts from God. Engineers were mostly cool, though. Most of them would understand “Your design is dumb and here’s why. We’re gonna have to change it” and they’d usually learn from it.

      My best day on a job site was watching the architect wearing zero safety gear walk right into a temporary support for a wall. It was fantastic.
