Many, many years ago, a document called "Real Programmers" made it's rounds around ARPANET and other predecessors of the internet. I must have it somewhere but not on the computer I use right now. But I fondly remember one of it's basic dogmas because I kept repeating that to clients in the days I got paid for writing software:

Code:

Real prgrammers don't write documentation. The code is obvoius.
