Who Needs Documentation?
In a court case against the European Competition Commission, Microsoft has allegedly had to spend 35,000 man hours, producing 12,000 pages of documentation to show how easy it is to write software that interoperates with theirs. They even had to re-hire some people who worked on the original software to help document it. This is a good example of “better to get it right in the first place” with documentation.
Jiri Baum is keeping an eye on how these events have come to light.
