Omit internals and technology. - Developers need technical clarity: components, data flows, technology choices. - A diagram that tries to serve both audiences usually serves neither. Zoom, don't cram. Each diagram should answer one question at one level of abstraction. Use separate diagrams for context, containers, components, and code, like zooming into a map. Keep it simple. When a diagram feels cluttered, split it. Avoid crossing arrows, limit to ~15 elements, and prefer clarity over completeness. Every element must be meaningful. Each box needs a name and a responsibility (one sentence). Add technology labels only for technical audiences. If you cannot describe what an element does, remove it. Diagrams complement t
