  1. The problem is that software is so soft and so explicit that the software IS the documentation. Really the only way to verify that it does what it should do correctly is through tests. So tests document the requirements. So, all documentation from software is derivable. The problem comes from non-software engineers getting into the mix. Software doesn’t have a person in the C-suite with specific software engineering training and experience (which it should), and product managers and UX teams who don’t have software engineering training have gotten into the software engineering pipeline. I’ve seen software engineers being pushed down to basically factory worker level. The lowest rung on the organisation hierarchy. It makes no sense. No other professions do this. You don’t have a non-engineer managing engineers building airplanes. You don’t have non-doctors managing teams of doctors. You don’t have non-academics leading teams of academics.
