In this special live episode from the Software Architecture Gathering, Jacqui Read joins Eberhard and Ralf for an insightful conversation on the rise of diagrams-as-code and the role of AI in software documentation. Jacqui highlights how using textual notations like PlantUML, Mermaid, and Structurizr transforms diagramming from an artistic task into a systematic, data-driven process. They discuss the benefits, limitations, and need for critical understanding when working with AI-generated diagrams, empowering teams to improve consistency, collaboration, and automation behind the scenes of architecture workflows.
