Regardless of what you think of the main emphasis of the above article, the
one piece that applies to us is
>UML is a standard modeling language for documenting data and processes in
software systems.
Like it or not, around here, developers are being hired or not hired based
on their expertise of UML and I've been given a wide latitude in learning
how to document in UML
Just another skill that you might want to have that goes above and beyond
the "I'm a qualified technical writer because I know how to ask the
questions and write for the unknowledgeable."
