I find I end up needing to walk the code to make diagrams of the current state anytime management wants to know what’s going on. It’s the only way my managers seem to understand or accept anything.

It’s a lot of work, as starting over is often easier than reviews and edits. Usually the diagrams are slightly out of date, but good enough to satisfy whoever is looking at it.

I wish I had a better solution. Now I’m wondering I could write something that walks the code for me.
