You'd think they're both architecture diagrams, equally carelessly drawn using the fantastic ExcaliDraw diagramming software, and patiently waiting for a prime real estate location on those confluence pages that a good-willed manager unceremoniously titled “documentation”.

Perhaps one of them is not going to be so lucky. Perhaps the first of these diagrams will only get its 15 minutes of fame as a png pasted in a brief Teams message, the existence of which will unmistakingly be acknowledged by kind souls sticking a few tiny hands-joined-together emojis in its corner, before it drowns in a flood of office-themed GIFs. Poor thing.

Anyway, wherever they might end up, those diagrams are likely short-lived. In about a month or two — a year at most — something will necesserily have changed in the way things are done, and invariably, not only will these diagrams be rendered obsolete, they will also become misleading — as relayers of information from a time long gone. No biggie. No one looks at those pages anyways. We’ll just update them later. Oh, and we lost the original drawing file, so...
