This interview makes me realize technical writing is not for me. Thanks for that.

Wow. I'll consider myself lucky. I landed a Technical Writer job with no experience and basically no education. Didn't know it was something people actually get educated for.

I went through an employment agency and they said they had a spot open for a role they don't normally have... and I happened to be there at the right time. I will admit though, the company seemed pretty desperate and dysfunctional.

A good technical writer is worth their weight in gold. They can be incredible productivity multipliers for development team. Any team I've been on where there was a high quality tech writing team invariably was higher performing than other teams without them.

Maybe it's just the Asperger's in me, but I'm surprised how many younger technical writers can't speak two sentences without saying the word "like" six times. I wish I could understand.

What a helpful video! The best one on the topic that I could find. Host, your empathy for your varied listeners’ concerns is clear- very cool podcast! I’m in a career transition and don’t know what to do next- you really seem like you care!

This was a great interview! I'm looking to transition into technical writing in 2024, and I have a background in teaching and writing blog posts. I am focusing on getting an entry-level technical writing role, and this advice is great!
