Relative difficulty

[Happy birthday to [livejournal.com profile] editrx!]

Writing code is easy. Writing documentation is hard.

Just a quick status report: the CommYou alpha is toddling along decently well. I'm ruthlessly triaging bugs and stories, and I think it's getting decently non-sucky. I'm currently in the middle of writing the documentation, which is taking far longer than I'd originally expected. But if there are no major snafus, I should have something for people to come seriously play with in the next week...

I'm not a serious programmer -- I'm a sysadmin and network guy who writes programs and scripts.

I write all my code by writing the documentation first. If I add a new feature, or change behavior, it starts with documentation. Code comes second.

Obviously this doesn't work for everyone.
