I am a Documentation Fascist

11 AM February 11, 2004

On our project, we have two kinds of classes, those that are fully documented, and those that are not.

For some reason, it really ticks me off when somebody adds a method to one of the documented classes and doesn’t document it. Sometimes I add the documentation myself, other times I issue unsubtle reminders.

I know why I am so fascist about documentation: a key objective of this project is that the code be maintainable by novice C++ programmers. Never-the-less, I find the role uncomfortable.
