Little point to big things
Guy Mason adds a further explanation for the letter to LinuxFormat that expressed the opinion in pure gobbledegook that UML was ‘The Next Big Thing’. ‘What it is trying to say is that if you produce a load of diagrams with stickmen, ellipses and boxes with lines joining them, followed up by text
documents stating things such as “if an idiot turns off the server then the system will go down”, you will impress your boss or customers,’ he says.
‘The main benefit to the system is that if at some point your boss or customer shows any sign of understanding it, then you can update it to a later version which is even more unintelligible.’
Ah! So UML is just like all the other Big Things then.
