I'll have to presume that to be a result of little to no interest. Either that or being unaware how to leverage google for the task.
A simple google search revealed the original author in no-time.

Not surprising. When I'm in the integration testing or maintenance phase of an application, each bug is usually a significant context switch -- what steps create the bug, what data interacts with creating the bug, what's the code path, verifying that the test is doing the right thing or that the user reported the correct steps, etc. It can take a while just getting all the info in place to understand the issue, then there's the "do I write a test specifically for this bug?" path, fixing the bug, retesting, running all the integration tests again to make sure something else didn't break.
But the context switch itself can be almost painful and it takes a certain discipline not to wonder off to Code Project and procrastinate for a good amount of time.
Hmmm...speaking of which....

I found the UI of this web page quite poor...
Had to scroll down to see the ad popup which blacken the page...
Whenever I mouse over a section it greenify it making it hard to read...

Did you ever see history portrayed as an old man with a wise brow and pulseless heart, waging all things in the balance of reason?
Is not rather the genius of history like an eternal, imploring maiden, full of fire, with a burning heart and flaming soul, humanly warm and humanly beautiful?

the problem I usually find is that so called IT departments or contractors just don't listen when you explain what they need to do, think they know it all or plain just don't it. this then requires more too-ing and fro-ing getting them back on the phone to set the permission to that folder, sql database or login that you specifically told them they must do when installing, so the first you know it is that an irate customer cant do something so calls you first as its your product and you have to go through the whole process again - grrrrrr

The way it usually goes is you get a call that something isn't working, so you email them the installation docs, instructions or prerequisites (again!) and get them to check they have followed every step exactly. The reply comes back five minutes later "It's working now".

I had a good one today when a local IP address to a device 'disappeared' after the new IT contractors had been messing with the router - after mucho discussion we had to get the original guy back in sort it, which he did, and the new guy rang me later to tell me 'Ive sorted it now' - I couldn't let that one go so let him know in no uncertain terms that HE hadn't sorted it at all, it was him that caused the problem, wasted all our time & cost the customer money, and yet expected us to somehow be thankful HE'D solved the problem - my contact told me the new guy looked about 5 years old and seemed a tad upset, but my empathy with 'experts' vanished many years ago so I didn't feel in the least bit bad about it lol.

I was walking around campus today wondering where all the high end German made cars were hiding and then I remembered that the students are away on break.

Why is it that we as programmers hate to document?
I document code as I go but I write articles for my site on projects and libraries I create and I suck at it, put off doing it and when I do get down to writing it's a slow tedious process.

We are used to writing for a smarter user-base than the documentation's target audience.

The problem is I understand what I write but few others do.

I usually try to enforce a code freeze a few weeks before release. (depending on the size and complexity of the package). In that time I make sure to write the documentation and create install procedures and the like.

My code is self-documenting
I hate documenting my code (i.e. writing manuals), unless it is to teach others how to use a certain technology (like in my blog or articles).
And I'm not particulary bad at it.
But I do have a degree in Media and Journalism, so I may not be your average documentor

No, they had a different name and were just the end result of trying to document something.

One company I worked for, we had documentors that created the documentation in parallel with us.
We'd occasionally upset the documentors when we found we had to change something, but we tried to keep it to a minimum.
That worked fairly well. Particularly since English was no longer the primary language for the programmers.

Sounds a bit like pair programming, but with one doing documentation.
That might actually work...
