I'd bet with GPT-XX based code generation this might UML sequence diagrams may make a resurgence. its at least good to run some kind of automated 'design lint' to run even if just to ensure a new feature or commit has not broken the high level assumptions/state machine. The codebase I work in I definitely could use something like this regularly.

That's funny, I was just thinking this the other day, because there was another HN thread that seemed largely critical of UML's legacy. I remember being a little surprised (with all the GPT craze) that no one had suggested a possible resurgence of UML (or something with similar features) for directing code generation.

  learning "true" UML seems like too much overhead. Perhaps something more flexible in the direction of ink and switch's programmable ink would be easier to pick up https://www.inkandswitch.com/inkbase/ https://www.inkandswitch.com/inkbase/
