My personal view: kill the garbage that is UML with fire, and all the attempts at formal modeling. Design is too rich of a field to be modeled formally. I disagree with the author's apparent take that all there is is either formal UML-type thought systems or a mess of design-less fluffy user stories. There is room for both. But a thoughtful design represents and communicates deep thought, and formal design systems like UML, in my experience, do not help people communicate deep thoughts. The best design documents that I've read were very well-written prose, with occasional diagrams for illustration, or even code snippets, but not trying to convey too much in a formal manner which would've made the doc less readable not more.
