<!--Include a brief introduction at some point--->

_The Other Face_ is a chapter which tries to explain what good documentation looks like.
Brooks describes nine principles which should guide the programmer to write a useful description. 
I won't cite them here, but what is more interesting is that he suggests that it is imperative the coder writes the documentation _before_ starting to code.
