I love this:
"It's speculative non-fiction -- we write what we imagine will be true
sometime in the future." (Sue Gallagher)
Some time ago I was well ahead of the engineers in documenting a system. A new function was added, so I wrote the help as I expected it to work and gave it to the engineers. They coded to match my document. Beautiful!
Cheers
