Ask HN: What do you use for diagramming in software engineering?
11 by jayliew | 17 comments on Hackshub
What are the popular common tools today for (visually) documenting architecture, component, and interaction diagrams? The core purpose is to facilitate the efficient communication of technical information between software engineers on the team at a high level / bird's eye view (as opposed to a more granular level line by line comment inside of code). Specifically, something persistent & electronically scalable (not just a temporary whiteboard sketch that goes away!) Not just for a one-off communication, but something long-term so that institutional knowledge stays with the organization, even if people come and go. I'm thinking out loud here but some kind of product / solution that can be baked into a code review process.
