No sooner do I finish my little celebration of Bothnerian
Documentation do I stumble upon this little gem:
"Documentation is like sex: when it is good, it is very, very
good; and when it is bad, it is better than nothing."
--- Dick Brandon
I was amused by this, but then a bit puzzled as the metaphor
seemed more apt than Brandon noticed: I tend to prefer nothing
to bad sex, and even moreso to bad documentation. Bad
documentation, like bad sex, can spoil a good relationship;
they both tend to lead to confusion, frustration, and unwise
decisions; it's hard to pay attention to either, and very easy
to complain about both; everyone will tell you how to make 'em
better, but no one will help...
*ahem*
Ok, that's enough of *that*.
(As a side note, the Squeak Swiki's
quote of the day feature is rather nifty, and worth
emulating.)
(Yes, Niel, that was a hint.)
