> Are UML diagrams used effectively in the dev industry?

Are they effective? I say they are when correctly used. For example last year I used plant UML to draw a sequence diagram to demonstrate some threading/mutex problems. [1]

I've also used draw.io to draw similar problems. [2]

I would say that tbqh using UML (or maybe just plant UML) is the "better" solution because it can be embedded in code and re-rendered as needed. But draw.io is _much_ easier to use!

I will also say that UML diagrams aren't well taught nor do most devs even know to reach for the tool.
