UML was a scam really. They took a lot of very useful diagrams and created a absolute behemoth of unproven system to develop software and sold it.

The diagrams are very nice and useful. But the UML as a process, if taken literally, it a total disaster.

One of the creators of UML, Booch, has said so himself that it was taken to a point where it should never have. Interesting interview: https://youtu.be/u7WaC429YcU?feature=shared

Thanks. I was only going to find the part about UML but I ended listening to the whole thing. What a legend!
