And great developer produces code which is self-documented, so he spares time with "document the code" step.

That is great when you can do it, but there are a lot of places (domain knowledge for instance) where documenting WHY this code exists is important I think. That and in general it feels like we should be documenting the "why" instead of the "what" if that makes sense.
