As of today, I counted over 100 people offering to create a uml diagram for you.<\/p>\n<p>Most of them focus on the core UML diagrams but ER diagrams seem to be also popular (and quite a few people confuse the two, announcing one of them and using the other to illustrate the offering). Obviously, at this price, I guess the clients are basically students trying to get somebody to do their assignments and homework for a cheap price. To be honest, if somebody else tries to use this service for a real project, they deserve the crap they are going to get. Maybe some just use fiverr as a low-level entry strategy to get some larger projects with those clients (so that the 5 USD price never actually happens).<\/p>\n<p>Still, I confess I was surprised there were enough (potential) clients to generate this UML fiverr market. Should I be then happy? Does this say something good about modeling?<\/p>\n<p>In any case, as <a href=\"http:\/\/www.lcc.uma.es\/~av\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">Antonio Vallecillo<\/a> said loud and clear:<\/p>\n<p>&#8220;Scott Ambler twitted the other day: <em>Once it\u2019s possible to sue someone for IT malpractice, or it\u2019s possible that someone can be jailed for such, then we\u2019ll be a TRUE profession<\/em>. I wholeheartedly agree with this idea. Have you ever seen an architect advertising in Fiverr? What about a good lawyer? And a surgeon? Unless we take ourselves seriously, we cannot expect the rest to do so\u2026 (Or maybe we do not deserve to be taken seriously\u2026).<\/p>\n<span class=\"et_bloom_bottom_trigger\"><\/span>","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Well, I will NOT but Fiverr has plenty of people willing to take modeling gigs for as low as five dollars.
