> who, after spending so much effort get the code written and debugged and barely worked, still have the energy to write article to explain it

Professionals who care about long-term success of a project?

Most of what I see in this thread are just excuses, born out of either ignorance or laziness. Or both. The same arguments that were used against adopting higher level languages instead of asm.

The truth is, as sklogic says in this thread, the code won't ever tell you the whole story. You're not writing code in a vacuum, you have Jira tickets, requirements, mockups and so on to help you. Yet people throw these away and leave only the code, as if working with code alone was what they do and what should be done.

I wish programmers stopped being like that. They should just learn how to write ok - not great, just ok - prose and get it over with. It's so frustrating to see programmers reject good ideas because of laziness and dumb stubbornness. I'm starting to believe that it's just the human nature at play here. Makes me hate humans even more than I already do.
