Don’t ask me how, but I obtained the #ChatGPT source code for the #LLM that is going to replace all #techwriters and #documentation specialists any day now. #ai #aihype #aihypeistoxic

Here's a 1-year #freelance opportunity for #techwriters and #communityoutreach specialists. It's for a good cause, #digitalequity in #vermont. The Vermont Community Broadband Board (VCBB) wants to contract with one or more providers of program development, research and data analysis, community outreach/ engagement, and writing. Proposals are due by March 28, 2023. For more info: https://publicservice.vermont.gov/document/rfp-vermont-internet-all-plans-bead-and-digital-equity-due-march-28-2023

New blog post over on my new community project for writers: The Challenge of Tech Writing

https://the-writers-comfort-zone.community/2023/02/04/the-challenge-of-tech-writing/

#TechWriters #TechWriting

I'm in the early stages of negotiating a contract job as #TechWriter for an old boss's boss from the job before my last job. It's for a young company basically documenting their sales/revenue/corporate goals and their technical capabilities, kind of a business plan and requirements doc rolled into one. What important questions should I be asking, #TechWriters? Any other tips for contracts or contracting? I've done it before but haven't had to negotiate terms or pay until now.

@ajquinn "[Your] work is… undermined by poor docs" & "doc-writing isn't exciting" That's why it's good to work with folks who really groove on writing docs. 😁 #techWriters #techWriterLife #documentation #writeTheDocs

Might devote some time today to tackling an open issue or two on the #writeTheDocs website.

As a community project for all of us, I encourage other #TechWriters to share their voice, too.

Wait - I got all guys? That stinks.
Okay, round two for #techWriters on this #followFriday

- @ivana
- @lclarke522 (mostly her lovely art side hustle content)
- @WizardOfDocs (Android docs, but may not post much about that)
- @jrdpa
- @evilrooster
- @katstodian

In an effort to help us all find each other, I've been building a list of #techWriters and others connected to #WriteTheDocs. So my #followFriday submission this week (and probably for a few weeks) are all tech writers or adjacent:

- @ericholscher (founded Write the Docs and Read the Docs)
- @plaindocs
- @jaredmorgs (also follow for #pinball content)
- @straygoat
- @rekiwi
- @ellispratt
- @alanpringle
- @chrischinchilla
- @josh
- @swapnilogale (WTD #Australia!)
- @ddbeck

More next week!

Fellow #techwriters - I'm compiling personas for an #opensource project. Looking to see if others have done this and can point me to resources? I think the Contributor persona likely has a lot of commonalities across opensource projects...

My Mastodon list of #techWriters is up to 16! How many more of us are there out here in the fediverse somewhere? Let's connect!

#docs #documentation #writeTheDocs #technicalWriting

Software #TechWriters are this weird mix of developer, QA tester, product manager, and marketer. We do surprisingly little writing for our title, mostly because we're so busy trying to figure out:

- what things do we have?
- what are they supposed to do?
- what do they really do?
- how do I understand all of that?
- how do I explain what I understand to only the degree necessary?

#writeTheDocs

Gah. Fosstodon.

Yes, we #techWriters are no better in our social posts than anyone else.

I think I look pretty good in this meme. The headband suits me.

Happy #StarWarsDay, #TechWriters.

I am climbing into the #MozillaLifeboat along with the rest of my team. If you'd like to hire some of the #techwriters who've helped build @MozDevNet into the trusted resource it is today -- now's your chance!
