Actually people have been very good about this little hiatus. I've just had my head down on the Aretha project, doing lots of writing work. When I pop up for air, I'm usually thinking about playing in the garden. I've been writing docs, and that always puts me in a funky mood. The garden cures that.
Programmers hate to write docs.
I don't think it's because programmers can't write. I know way too much. I want to keep plowing ahead. Writing docs is painful because I'll remember, the next time I'm wailing on code, adding feature after feature, that every feature needs to be explained. As I debug a group of features I create a backlog of unwritten docs.
