What a treat, at #APItheDocs we’re getting the intro to open spaces from @kvantomme . It’s a great format and we’re in good hands today!

A great takeaway from Kristof Van Tomme’s talk - we aim for reusable things that become better from reuse - I think this is fair both for APIs and documentation #apithedocs

Great opening keynote at #APItheDocs this morning from Kristof Van Tomme. He’s bringing some great API economy philosophy, but this in particular struck me “APIs are essential for AI readiness”

Many developers didn't have prior experience of dealing with a tech writer so they are asking "Who are you?" - "A tech writer" - "Ok, so what do you do exacly?"
Great talk by Lisa about technical writer role in a startup. Spoiler: it is important! #apithedocs

Sidney Maestre’s great advice of how to understand which code examples to put into your documentation when you can't do everything everywhere all at once #apithedocs

Today's talk is "OpenAPI for Documentarians" at #APItheDocs in Amsterdam. I show the OpenAPI document structure as a block representation, and give some tips on tools that can help writers to wrangle the API descriptions.

Feedback is gratefully received!

Lorna @lornajane gave a perfect dive into the openAPI spec structure, this should be studied at junior tech writers schools #apithedocs

Sort of cunning idea from @chrischinchilla Why not include components from frontend to a documentation, so there is no need to make screenshots anymore? #apithedocs #dynamicdocumentation

Time-to-first-Hello-world? Old thing. How about time-to-first-dopamine? #apithedocs
