13 reasons for UML’s descent into darkness
- edw519 18y agoUML's sole purpose is to make people who do not know what they are doing appear as if they do. How else could pay someone $50,000 per year and bill them out at $150 per hour without them actually doing anything?
- mike_organon 18y agoIf found #7 to be the most interesting, even beyond UML. "Pictures prove to be good at sharing ideas and allowing people to visualize concepts. But in the end words are better at describing the fine details." The same applies to many "visual programming" tools. If the text-based language is expressive enough, and doesn't need excessive boilerplate, that would be more effective and accurate than visual programming.
