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."
