On: Ask HN: Why aren't code diagram generating tools more common?

Protect against screenshots? Could you elaborate please

I believe the parent commentator is referring to how screenshots of a diagram generated at build or runtime are almost always out of date.

It’s better to generate a diagram as needed than to archive an outdated artifact that could lead to confusion.

We just treat them as any other artifact, a plantuml job builds it and it gets published under a certain URL.
