I'd love to have the time, AS I'M WRITING THE CODE, to document what the hell I'm doing, but alas, so many in various levels of non-technical management don't see it that way; to them it's always something that can be "fit in" later. But at least 2 things conspire against you there; "later" is always taken by some other coding effort and you never remember "later" as much as you do "now" so anything you try to backfill is suboptimal at best. (There is also a non-trivial issue here that many coders are just not good writers, and not in least part because English (in my case) is often their second or third language.)</div>
