I found this talk quite informative. As a young developer, I am still establishing what makes for good development practice in what context. Documentation is something I struggle with as I've always seen it as a burden. The thing that this talk showed me is that documenting the wrong thing is a burden. Thanks, Robert!

This was a surprisingly good talk. Important reminder of the importance of technical writing skills as a cornerstone of being a well-rounded engineer.

Great observation. I might have said "being an effective engineer" since there's not much point of making stuff that no one can figure out how to use.

It's my experience that the two tend to be strongly correlated. After all, the essence of being a software developer is the ability to clearly formulate and explain things, whether they be to a human being or to a computer.

Right. That was a big point about building the doc along with the app and maintaining the ap and doc synchronized. It makes for less tedious docs AND it makes for better applications. See the scope creep references.

I noticed that I talked about what to document and didn't really talk about how to write. For good reason - I'm not really a great writer. If you want to improve your writing skills at writing documentation and simplify your life, task a look at the-day-you-became-a-better-writer-2nd-look.

Thank you Robert. Interesting talk! At some points the audience is trying too hard to be smart which I find quite annoying and not of so much value.

A teacher should not believe anything but proof. AND the subject have proofs.
