UML is not dead at all.
I cannot fathom developing software without UML. How can you even design a system without diagrams? It's simply impossible.
There isn't one software component that my multiple teams at Amazon have designed that didn't use some diagrams from UML. And I'm sure you can say the same for any team in any FAANG.
Sure we aren't gonna do a class diagram the vast majority of the time, but there will almost always be some component diagram, sequence diagram, activity diagram, etc.
Some of the parts of UML are dead because they're not a good time investment, especially when working in Agile (class diagrams), but I'd argue that 90% of the people that say they never used UML after school have used it without realizing.
Just look at this thread, 100% of the responses are saying that UML = Class diagram.
- sidlls 4y agoThe bits of UML in use today are quite pale shadows of how they were (intended to be) used in the early 2000s.
