zenbowman's reply is [dead]. Why?
- ENGNR 13y agoBecause business users can understand them and the process flow is important to them (entity-relationship diagrams work well too for modeling the data and establishing a basic glossary for future communication) After that it usually turns out to be simpler to create a prototype or wireframe than UML diagrams these days (IMO).
- rosser 13y agoPresumably hellbanned, but on a quick perusal of the account's comment history, I don't see anything warranting that.
- dangrossman 13y agoThe most common cause of individual [dead] comments on an otherwise not-banned account is double posting. If you accidentally submit the same comment twice, the second one is killed. Since both show as live on your screen, when you delete one of the duplicates, you may delete the one that's live to everyone else, while leaving the one that's dead to everyone else.
- dang 13y agoI'm impressed that you got this exactly right. We've made a few fixes to try to plug this hole, but it unfortunately still happens.
- Todd 13y agoI'm not sure, but I'm guessing it's because of the dismissive tone regarding early proponents. I lived through this period and remember being attracted to Booch notation and similar early efforts (as well as GoF patterns, etc.). Ours is still a relatively young profession and before UML codified some of the ways to view problems clearly (from a particular perspective), one was often reduced to writing out algorithms and data structures and diagramming in off-the-cuff ways.
- dang 13y agoIt set off a spam filter.
- wglb 13y agoI am seeing it as not dead--is it possible the post was deleted then resubmitted?
