  1. "Are we heading toward an AI utopia, an AI dystopia… or something in between?

    In this episode of Technical Writing Uncensored, I sit down with technical writer and blogger Fabrizio Ferri-Benedetti to talk about how AI and LLMs are changing technical writing — and what writers should actually be worried about.

    Fabri writes the excellent Passo Uno blog, where he explores technical writing, AI, and the future of documentation.
    Read his blog here: passo.uno

    We discuss whether AI will replace writers, how technical writers can stay relevant, and why writers might actually become more important in an AI-driven world.

    Fabri also explains why writers should think of AI as “a second language”, not something that replaces human expertise.

    We also discuss:
    Why AI is more like a tool (a hammer) than an autonomous intelligence
    Why good documentation is essential for AI systems
    Whether tech writers will become editors and prompt architects
    Why writers need a “mental gym” to keep their thinking sharp

    This conversation is a thoughtful look at the real impact of AI on technical writing, without the hype.

Here's a photo of Turner and the following are images of the logos. The only way to get a correct image was to use the qualifier #black or #blackman. Why is there an assumption in these modern times that all engineers are #white? #BlackMastodon #RadioHistory #wireless 1/3

  25. ✍️ Technical writing isn’t just about documenting software—it’s also a backbone for industries that rely on Quality Management Systems (QMS).
    Think about it:
    A QMS is only as strong as its documentation.
    Clear SOPs, process maps, and compliance manuals help teams avoid costly errors.
    Poorly written documents = confusion, delays, and compliance risks.

    As technical writers, our role is to translate complex standards (like ISO 9001) into user-friendly, actionable documents #QML #TECHNICALWRITER

  31. "Your voice must be heard. Inside of your work, you need key stakeholders and teams to know what it is that you do and the value you bring to product development. Your docs are vital infrastructure, but folks won’t realize that until it’s too late. Unless, of course, you become an ambassador of your craft and start making yourself heard and present everywhere. One of the first things I did when I joined a startup was sending an email to the team telling them what I did. It became my first post.

    Outside of work, this task is equally important, because tech writing has a depth issue. You must develop a sense of pride in technical communication as a vital discipline. Don’t shy away from intellectual engagement and contribute to the field by sharing your own thoughts, theories, and errors. Some career ladders label that as “thought leadership”. It’s really about showing up and owning the conversation around what we do and why it matters, moving beyond praxis to noesis."

  36. "Let me be blunt.

    If your startup offers APIs and you don’t have a portal, you’re lighting developer acquisition money on fire. 💵 🧯🚒

    Here’s what a good portal actually does:

    Shortens time-to-value: faster POCs, faster adoption.

    Reduces support tickets: devs can find what they need.

    Builds trust: your API feels stable, documented, and ready.

    Increases conversion: when docs show how easy it is to integrate, not just tell.

    Still sending PDF onboarding packets to partners?

    C’mon, boo. 🥲"
