I don't exactly understand your criticism on best practices.
You seem to imply that UML or other project management software are considered best practices. I have never heard that. Or rather the opposite. Not using UML is currently considered as best practice.
But maybe it depends who you ask.
- GekkePrutser 5y agoYeah I studied UML during uni. It took a long time to 'click' and when it did I learned some useful concepts from it. Only then did OOP really make sense. However it's way too laborious using it for everything and it becomes a burden when things get complicated. For simple things it just doesn't really help because they're simple anyway. As a learning tool I think it was great. In production? Well I use it every day. The book props up my keyboard on my desk which happens to be 2cm too low :)
- vidarh 5y agoUML done "right" is when you relegate it to simply being a shared vocabulary used when you have a need to communicate details, the same way "everyone" understands a basic flow chart. Having a shared vocabulary is great. Modelling everything out with it, on the other hand, is a nightmare.
