We are constantly bombarded with a same advice. "Document your code," but the fact is that most documentation is out of date almost as soon as it's created and no one wants to update it. It's just easier to read the code. Also, programmers get paid for code not documentation so there's little incentive to document.

Yes, everyone should document their code but no one wants to and it's almost useless in no time.

I don't know the fix.
