LOL. Ain't it the truth! Every software team should have that on a plaque on
the wall.

I don't always do it, but I am happiest when I do: write the user
documentation BEFORE you write the product. Then when you find yourself
devoting three tedious paragraphs to explaining how something works, you
have a chance to say to yourself "Hmm. Maybe it shouldn't work that way."
