Abstract:

Really, I think documenting the software the way it works with bugs is making more work for myself, so that’s probably the main reason I avoid it. I’ve got enough to do without changing the doucmentation whenever a bug is fixed. Release notes are easier—a much smaller deliverable whose focus is what’s changed and what’s still not quite right.
