The time of UML came and went very quickly. No one misses it.
These types of diagrams are either not specific enough to answer any useful questions or so dense and insane that no one can read them.
If you have a business requirement with a decision tree it is probably a good fit for this type of documentation - write it down in DOT or asciiflow or something
- euroderf 4y agoAlso a very typical complaint in previous HN discussions of UML is that it very quickly gets out of sync with implementation, and nobody has a magic wand (or work time) for keeping it in sync, so rot sets in quickly.
- jyounker 4y agoThere were a few good things that came out of it, notably PlantUML. PlantUML's sequence and state diagrams are worth their weight in gold.
