So next time you're angry that your managers won't accept the need for good
docs -
it might be because they'd read some bad documentation somewhere and
"realized"
what a waste of time docs are.
Good processes are good, bad processes are bad. Duh. If your manager is too
dumb to know that, quit before you're mismanaged into oblivion.
Andrew, an anti-process bigot is just as bad as a process bigot.
