Please show me an engineer that likes to write documentation, especially datasheets? Nobody wants to do it  |O

Quite right. We almost all hate having to do that.

But for me personally, the hardest part is to get going. It's a motivation thing. Once I've started writing documentation and the momentum is there, I'll do it and may even - moderately - enjoy it.
What I don't "understand" is doing it half-baked. Like : "OK, you want me to do it, I'll do it. But you'll get a pile of shit."
I tend to enjoy the end result of nicely written documentation.
But yeah, it's always really hard to get started.

Engineering hell must be working with a never-correct document, which is always rejected by QC for trivial grammatical errors, decimal point placements, or simply because the graphics are confusing.

And I know, I know. A decimal point used in the wrong parameter, is what separates a functional board from a full blown fire drill.

I'm exactly the same way. I'll stare at my computer for an hour trying to get started and get nowhere, then once I figure out how to start it just takes off.

You mean I was supposed to feed 100 millivolts to that point and not 100 megavolts? No wonder.   ;D
