You can do user testing and have developers watch.

I'm pretty sure every engineering field calls it designing. Perhaps software devs feel a need to inflate what they actually do.

Aside - Why do we need the word "architecting" anyway? Why not just use designing?

The layoffs and/or pay cuts are coming this year. I don't see companies keeping large engineering head counts when they can get working software in minutes from specs. So, I suggest you become better in writing software specs. Wri

From my experience unless you have some undelining conditions you can stand for most of the day. I got used to it in a few weeks time and got ridden of my lower back pain. Perhaps stand as a default and take sitting breaks as needed?

What's the source of the changing priorities? Perhaps you could delay your reaction to the source of the changes?
