Or perhaps real managers don't allow their programmers enough time during development to produce documentation? Real sales and marketing people pressure the development managers to shove undocumented (but more or less debugged) code out the door? Real CEOs want faster and larger ROI? Real stockholders, some of the biggest of whom are on the real Boards of Directors, want big quarterly dividends more than they want happy customers who give repeat business because they are planning to sell off their holdings at the end of this quarter? Maybe the programmers should not take all the blame.
