1. documentation
The multiple kilograms of macerated, pounded, steamed, bleached, and
pressed trees that accompany most modern software or hardware products (see
also tree-killer). Hackers seldom read paper
documentation and (too) often resist writing it; they prefer theirs to be
terse and on-line. A common comment on this predilection is “You
can't grep dead trees”. See
drool-proof paper, verbiage,
treeware.
