The End of UML

You don't hear much about the Unified Modeling Language any more. Perhaps it is stable. Or maybe it has become obsolete. Code generation and diagramming has become passe.

I am fine with this. Personally I like coding more than drawing pictures. That does not mean that design itself has been thrown out. Just the previous craze of using tools to draw diagrams.

Guess what? I can't remember the last time I opened up Rational Rose and did any design work with it. And I also don't recall the last time I sketched out a UML diagram for a developer to see. Oh well. Easy come easy go.
