What's that UML thing anyway - is it really (and I mean really) necessary, or its just yet another trendy money earning thing?

Before UML, designs were written in document form. This meant that the users could sometimes understand them. UML is the IT community's move to stamp out that sort of thing.

I'm hoping to bluff my way through most of it.

So is UML is just for Docs, or also for project management (since presumably features/requirements are all defined), sounds like this kind of thing is meant to facilitate outsaucing.

I was doing this kind of thing (system analysis, that is) 10 years ago. I'm not doing it for outsourcing reasons but I don't think UML helps OS particularly, cr@p design still makes for cr@p code.

What exactly is crap in OS designes - too slow, not flexible enough for change (ie hard coded stuff)?

Crap design is when some rapid ruskie slaphead inserts lots of assembler into the code to perform micro-optimisation.

Nobody asked for your opinion dimwit.
