I think we can all agree that the death of c++ cannot come too soon.

Please stop encouraging terrible programmers from moving to the bay area. There are enough of them already.

UML was always to me the idea that, what if we, the clever management and planners, could do programming WITHOUT having to learn how to program? Let's just UML and if the implementation fucks up it's the stupid programmer's fault.

this is exactly right. development is a sliding scale. on one side is “put a bunch of smart people together and let them figure it out”. on the other side is “specify everything exactly and hire a bunch of idiots to type out the code as we designed it”

UML is the far extreme of the latter. it turns out that specifying a program to operate correctly is at least as much, if not more, work than writing it and you need smarter people doing it. obviously this doesn’t actually work.

"specifying a program to operate correctly" is literally programming
