Ha, this is a good rant and I like it. Rational was all that and more in the 90s but ultimately AFAICT they were trying to make design into a coding exercise under a different name and with a fancy “language”; but that’s what code is for. Unfortunately my reality has been that some shops and some managers actually do believe that the process is design -> build -> deploy and that any errors or delays in step 2 are the engineering teams fault. I mean, they don’t say that bit out loud or anything.
