My point is not about requirements specification or high level design. These need to be documented, at least to a certain extent before coding starts. Especially if more than one person is working on the project and you have to assign tasks.
I do have an issue with lower level design outside code. To give an extreme example: I keep seeing people define function prototypes in Microsoft Word documents. I have even done that myself because I was supposed to write a detailed specification, so I tried to be as detailed as can be. This is something that,from my corrent point of view, makes no sense at all.

We're a place where coders share, stay up-to-date and grow their careers.
