UML to be ejected from Microsoft Visual Studio
-
The company is removing UML support in Visual Studio 15 due to a lack of usage
That's OK, I still have my stencil lying around. Somewhere.

So MS decided to remove UML from VS based on quora 7 answers on Why has UML usage declined in industry? Unbelievable!

It's as if they listened to people playing in mud puddles who are uninterested in spending a day at the ocean simply because they have no concept of what the beach is and how beautiful it can be.
Ocean? Beach? Not even sure such a thing exists. I'll just wallow here in this nice puddle. Good enough, ya know. Good enough."

Kill the King! Long live the King! err, UML. No, just kill it already.

Oh, is it not that thing I've never been using? :)

UML is like real English. It should be universal and help communications but actually everyone uses its own version which is incompatible with the others.

They have found people using it if they hadn't restricted its use to the Visual Studio Expensive Enterprise. Probably not though. Personally, I find UML useful for quick sketches, but not much more than that. For those a whiteboard usually suffices.

When was the last time a developer ever documented anything? "It's all in my head like!"
All code is documented...in the code. It can be quite obscure.
int Add(int a, int b){
return a + b;
}Hey, look, it's a function that adds two numbers together and returns the result sum. :laugh: It's just that most people you have to explain code to don't want to know it at this (low) level. Plus, code often becomes more complex than that and many devs are lazy.
int ExacerbateConfusion(int a, int b, int c){
for (int i = 0; i<5;i++){
a = a + i;
}
return ConverTo.Int32(a / b);
}1. What is this thing really supposed to do? 2. Why isn't c ever used? 3. why are they iterating through this loop? 4. why? Why? why do I have to maintain this other dev's crap code? :laugh:

Except for later when something goes wrong and someone says, "Why didn't we try X?" Dev: "Well, I went down that path?" Mgr: "Are you sure? Because I think X will fix this entirely." Dev: "I'm fairly sure, but well, I guess we can try it." If only we had a copy of that whiteboard thing that we decided not to try. :laugh: :-D Been there, done that.

We simply take photos of that whiteboard ;-)

Good point. We use that "modern" technology documentation system too. :)
