That page linked to this page:
http://www.pbm.com/~lindahl/real.programmers.html

Which states:

QuoteReal Programmers write programs, not documentation. Leave that to the maintenence people.

Writing documentation is boring anyways.

QuoteIf there is not enough schedule pressure on the Real Programmer, he tends to make things more challenging by working on some small but interesting part of the problem for the first nine weeks, then finishing the rest in the last week, in two or three 50-hour marathons.

QuoteAre we destined to become an industry of Unix hackers and Pascal programmers?
