If something dies without anyone noticing, it has no value whatsoever. Good riddance. As a new software developer in IBM, UML scared the hell out of me. It gave an aura of needless complexity to software problems that needed to be tackled by breaking them down into manageable chunks and apply time tested solution patterns.
