UML comes from an era where Object Oriented (Obsessed?) Design was the whole world, and everything that wasn’t OOD was being forced to not exist. In this era, Architects would draw UML diagrams and cheap Indian code monkeys would do the coding, because we thought that code monkeys would be cheap and replaceable. This was perfect for the MBAs because programmers started to be annoying by not delivering on the expected deadlines, and claiming about the algorithms, the damned algorithms. We wanted to replace them with cheaper and less-whiny ones.
Turns out that the details of the system are in the code, not in the diagrams, and only the trivial parts of the system would be expressed in diagrams, and the devil is in the details. But this makes programmers non replaceable and fungible, because the better ones can express algorithms that the worse programmers will never understand. And many times, you need these better algorithms.
All this makes UML not anymore the silver bullet for bodyshops. The broken idea of hiring 1 architect and 100 code monkeys from the consultancy just doesn’t work, because the architect is not expected to dig in the details, and the 100 code monkeys will just make a mess of the details.
UML was dead on arrival when it ignored most of the details of Software Development. Doesn’t mean though that some parts of UML can be salvaged, such as sequence diagrams, state diagrams, or entity-relation diagrams. But trying to model in UML an arbitrary problem and solution is likely to become wrestling with the language to express anything minimally complex or different.

Has UML died without anyone noticing?

“我很欣慰能看到很多人说 ‘你们是不是同性恋关我屁事，我闲着没事干嘛歧视你们’。
“我觉得这就是平权。”
