Great talk loved it, but one thing the guys who uploaded didn't consider is that you can't scan the QR code at the end of the video simply because it's blocked by other video suggestions...yaaay

Great presentation! I've been dealing with design docs for years and wrote about this subject, Not enough is being done - many SE still choose not to properly design their work beforehand. Evolutionary design is good when you are not sure what is being done - or when something is going to change soon. Using the YAGNI principle you don't need to design more than you know currently. If you do - put it in the design because these aspects are going to answer the future SE whom would ask "Why did they do that". The design doc should be the answer .

Come from manufacturing industry. The idea of not having at least a guiding model (blueprint) sounds completely absurd to me. I very much like that this method is incredibly similar what I decided on, myself. You're not trying to micromanage every aspect, but not choosing a route just means you're driving around willy-nilly and likely wasting time/money having to change routes after having already done work.

What's a good alternative to UML and CASE considering those things have serious drawbacks

[@pohjoisenvanhus]

Depends on which drawbacks you're finding problematic. If your primary problem would be for example coworkers that aren't willing to put in even the 15 minutes required to learn a minimal subset of UML then it's not the diagramming method that's the problem.

I see the IGN rating system has made its appearance. 7:37

Not doing design is a backslash to having Enterprise architected fizzbuzzes caused by the OO software "design". Like we currently know the refactoring book can be replaced by a lambda expression.
