  1. 🤔 Ah, the predictable existential dread of tech writers: "The Future is Lies," yawn! 🤥 If only they spent as much time understanding machine learning as they do splitting their prose into endless sections. 📚 Spoiler alert: The future of this article is just more paragraphs. 😴

  8. @rekiwi @perkinsy hello fellow #Techwriters, I feel your pain. For me it is deciphering Jira tickets from engineers. The writing is the easy part 🤣

  9. 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

  11. By the way people talked, f'n Becky was amazing at their job and everyone loved them. But @jonobie and I couldn't figure out why they were always referred to as f'n Becky.

    A few weeks later we met another tech writer who went by F. Turns out they were officemates with Becky.

    It finally dawned on us 💡:
    F AND Becky
    not
    F'n Becky!!

  12. F'n Becky

    23 years ago @jonobie and I were sweet summer children starting our first post-college jobs at Tivoli. We kept hearing about this tech writer who was well respected but sounded like a real hard-ass because everytime they were referred to as f'n Becky.

    "Have you run those docs by f'n Becky?"

    "F'n Becky just saved the release again!"

  13. 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: publicservice.vermont.gov/docu

  14. 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!
