A Quote by Bertrand Meyer

Incorrect documentation is often worse than no documentation. — © Bertrand Meyer
Incorrect documentation is often worse than no documentation.
Even though it is better if the system can be used without documentation, it may be necessary to provide help and documentation. Any such information should be easy to search, focused on the user's task, list concrete steps to be carried out, and not be too large.
From the very early stage when I started doing performance art in the '70s, the general attitude - not just me, but also my colleagues - was that there should not be any documentation, that the performance itself is artwork and there should be no documentation.
I often really like to play with documenting my performances cinematically. Cinematic documentation is much more interesting than the performance itself.
The obsessive documentation is itself adjacent to hyper-consumption in our society. The desire to just have everything all the time and adjacent to that is - it might be a little hokey but - a certain loss of identity that then only gets sort of found or ascribed to these moments that are documented. If so much of your experience is devoted to the thought of documentation, you're already sort of spinning out this narrative from this moment that you are attempting to control instead of just experiencing it.
Nowhere are prejudices more mistaken for truth, passion for reason and invective for documentation than in politics.
Each Dreamer in our country is more than a mere statistic; he or she is a proud American in everything but official documentation.
Growing up, my mother and grandparents often talked about our family's Native American heritage. As a kid, I never thought to ask them for documentation - what kid would?
Lack of documentation is becoming a problem for acceptance.
I think it's important to have some documentation of the past.
Good code is its own best documentation.
Documentation is not understanding, process is not discipline, formality is not skill.
There are more than 3500 military and commercial aircraft pilot reports of encounters worldwide; many cases have corroborating radar documentation and multiple witnesses both on the ground and in the air.
I have other projects to do. I try not to let that documentation interfere with my present day.
I think that the richer and deeper documentation is on the web, the better off we all are.
Translations are a partial and precious documentation of the changes the text suffers.
Documentation is a love letter that you write to your future self.
