> People who write code know it too well to write good documentation. I doubt this. Like Eistein said, if you understand something well enough, you will have no problem breaking it down in to simple, easy to digest information. The idea that someone knows something well enough and therefore not able to write good docs, misses the crux of the problem: The writer here failed to understand his audience. And when someone is educated to be conscious about their audience, I see no reason why the one knows the system best in any way hindered by his/her knowledge.
