Today I went to this talk by this guy. It was like I was playing hooky from school to go smoke behind the wood shed, except I was taking my lunch break to go to a lecture on how software architecture is forcing a paradigmatic evolution of the software development process. I didn't really learn anything new, but my feelings on the nature of my current work were confirmed (i.e. "we are doing the right thing by asking the right questions about the role of software architecture in the DO-178B process and product line management").
