I don’t see the value in this niche. Either I want to model something more abstractly, or I want to be more concrete and model precise data flows (defining programming as input data + transformation -> output data). The article mentions “long-term”, but I certainly don’t want to maintain diagrams parallel to code. The reason it talks about modeling existing systems is that nobody did it in the first place, because it goes out of sync. Schemas are usually used to generate code or generated from code. The criticism of C4 is also ironic. The same OOP/UML worries of what to name something or categorize it as apply.
