Ah, so more that they wrote the code and then didn't run the resulting program to generate the documentation for their own code. They were probably being safe, recursively using a program on itself sounds risky and might open a portal to another dimension.

It's possible, but we used to do it all the time in the old days, when writing cross-compilers.
Write the compiler on system X, compile it to run on X, then use it to compile itself and produce an executable that would run on system Y.
I don't remember any Portals To Hell opening, but they could have been masked by the room full of cigarette smoke...
Bad command or file name. Bad, bad command! Sit! Stay! Staaaay...

Personally, I prefer the trampoline aisles for the supermarket. Being quite short, this would actually be useful...
If you have an important point to make, don't try to be subtle or clever. Use a pile driver. Hit the point once. Then come back and hit it again. Then hit it a third time - a tremendous whack.

Our passwords expire every 45 days. Since my account is used on three computers, and I can't have services down because of a login failure, I change my password on the first working day of the month. This used to be a PITA until this month. We finally got rid of Lotus Notes (yay!).
Changing the password on Bloatus Goatse used to be:
Start Notes. Enter old password to start the app.
Select File, User security. Enter old password again to get the dialog open.
Click the change password button. Enter old password a third f***ing time to get the change password dialog open.
Enter the new password, twice, and hope the operation succeeds.
The Notes development team will remain #1 on my list of development-teams-against-the-wall-when-the-revolution-comes for the foreseeable future, just to be sure.

A History book that fell through a timewarp from the future claims that the Sirius Cybernetics Corporation's development teams were actually the first against the wall when the revolution came.

I KNEW IT!
I'll start building my light sabre straight away! 
Or more correctly: I'll go to Q&A and request somebody else to build it for me and just send me the finished result. Urgentz!

Not sure his last minute addition of a cooling vent is a good idea, but he reckons that no one could hit that, you would need some kind of supernatural "force" to do that
