OK I'll bite :-) What you describe is exactly the reason why there was a backlash against UML 5-7 years ago and, by extension, MDD. Fundamentally it comes down to productivity. If the effort required to create and maintain the application increase…

Hi Scott,

Welcome aboard.

We'll start publicising the site more widely next week but if you have time take a look around and have a think about the types of things you'd like to see happening here.
