I like these two quotes on that:

"Show me your flowchart and conceal your tables, and I shall continue to be mystified. Show me your tables, and I won't usually need your flowchart; it'll be obvious."

Fred Brooks, The Mythical Man-Month.

"Bad programmers worry about the code. Good programmers worry about data structures and their relationships."

Linus Torvalds
