Unpopular opinion: Making fun of UML skills is a bit like making fun of math skills

Can I ask what the role of UML is in an Agile landscape these days? When I think of software design, we dont really have any OTHER way to express relationships in code. Is this just an ad-hoc thing we use every now and then, or do some teams use it more formally?

I’ve never seen an agile project that didn’t benefit from somebody drawing a diagram on a whiteboard occasionally during a design discussion

So ad-hoc, just as a way to communicate design a bit better before sitting down and coding. Cool. I think I had this idea in my mind that UML -> Big Upfront Design. That's not necessarily true at all.
