All of those things sound like they are mostly the product of someone before you being lazy and very poor at writing maintainable software or documentation. This argument is akin to blaming carpentry when someone has built a poorly constructed house.

Sure, it would be nice if you could spend the majority of your time on the fun stuff, and it looks like your predecessors certainly tried. But in that case you should probably not actually write software and choose a more theoretical career path if you can't be bothered to learn how to use a hammer.

You didn't understand what OP's post was getting at, you didn't what my post was getting at, yet you still managed to be condescending. Congratulations.
