[DUG] 7 Job Positions Open

[Dennis Chuah]

When that happens to me I always tell to RTFM first then come and talk to me 
if they still don't understand.  Do it enough times and they will soon learn 
to RTFM.

My problem is not so much programmers not documenting their work but 
inadequate documentation.  I often see comments like "Dennis asked me to do 
this"

It also pays to have one or more good documenters in your team.  That way 
you can produce good quality user and reference documentation.  So much for 
unproductive work, huh?
