Can you provide a real working example ? Because no one has ever done that for me. Even if you can, can you provide 2 or three examples ? I would think again on the "never working with inteliigent people" part. Can you or anyone, prove that this works *more often than not* ? I'm at the point that people say this and that, but know one has *ever* seen it working. The whole idea seems like a bunch of crap, anyone who has ever done any real programming knows that the world is much different than that (mine is, at least). But I'm willing to be wrong. > --- On Wed, 5/5/10, Marco Peereboom <[email protected]> wrote: > >> From: Marco Peereboom <[email protected]> >> Subject: Re: OT - UML, can someone state that it works ? >> To: "Christiano F.
