1:05 start with what the reader needs
2:26 write less
4:05 write the outline first
5:19 rubber ducking
6:26 write readably
8:41 it's not just about documentation

[@DodaGarcia]

This was so useful!! I have always ignored documentation (aside from inconsistent comments in the code) because I'm typically the only user, but I've recently realized that when you only use a piece of software every few months, you might as well be a total stranger to it because you have to relearn how all of it works each time.
This inspired me to document the API so that I don't have that extra friction next time I have to use the code. Thank you Beth!

Great speaker, loved the clean layouts of her slides, the simplicity is so elegant.

[@lucemanb8732]

she writes good documentation, couldnt expect less

[@kresnofatihimani5073]

swear to god, she's right. ive seen documentations with abundance in details but does not help much in achieving what i want which usually forces me to look immediately at a use case in a medium blog or something

[@ColbyCBoone]

This was super helpful , I’m a platform PM & writing documents for a technical audience has been challenging I’m looking to grow an improve in this area.

[@zenginellc]

This definitely helped in reflecting on my documentation styles and how to improve it.
Thank you!

[@n1gr082]

Great talk! I love the last point. Often people try to mitigate the problem with documentation and don't try to solve the underlying problem

[@roland7599]

Straight to the point and simply explained ❤

@Beth Aitman This was a great video on this subject. I learned a lot. Thanks!

[@mosesket]

Does anyone have a sample doc like she explained here

[@MainlyWebStuff]

Nice talk - good advice, especially 'write readably'

[@preciousonyewuchi5128]

Does anyone know how to get a link to the blog she mentioned?

[@TheLegendSpeaker]

Great concise talk!

[@Amy-zz5ln]

Can you please help me know how to get Software documentation writer job as a fresher?

[@raoulkoopman9408]

Anyone able to get the name of that blog?

[@stronglonggg]

Thanks! That was really effective 👍

[@goktugerol1127]

Nice, but I prefer writing the documentation of the things I make myself with the other Sr. engineers. Never worked with a technical writer, maybe I see some significant difference if I try. Is there anyone think as same as me?

[@techne_]

Only great or huge enterprises hire technical documentation specialists.

[@goktugerol1127]

@@techne_ but isn't it doing a double job someone who doesn't make the app writing a documentation and they need to review the code line by line so they can understand and write the docs.

[@TheNickzer]

Some great ideas.
