More practice today.
Today I am thinking of change. Prices change, people change, places change, and so on. Price increases, such as the increase in gas prices, are usually negative changes for the consumer; people don’t like them very much. From economic theory, I know that consumers sometimes (maybe want to) find substitutes for goods when the price increases.
Consider diagramming. At one point, UML was the predominant language/notation used for creating diagrams. Then there was BPMN.
Now, systems will assist with the creation of diagrams. I was an evaluator of a prototype to create class diagrams from requirements. I thought the diagrams created by the system were a good starting point for Analysts who need to create these diagrams. I created and submitted models/diagrams to show how the diagrams may differ when a person – the Analyst – creates it. The author Tiantian Tang actually thanked me in the acknowledgements. That was cool.

I realize that I have knowledge of the “old” diagrams (DFDs and so on) as well as newer UML and BPMN diagrams. I probably should pay more attention to diagramming. The following blog has examples of diagrams I prepared for a job search process:
