Proud of my first big documentation effort done with the Home Assistant docs team, and have the release post say "DOCUMENTATION IS PART OF THE FEATURE".

First-time speakers are warmly encouraged, especially if you’ve done useful docs work but haven’t spoken about it publicly before.
Submit a proposal even if you’re still shaping the talk. We’d be happy to see the idea early.

Serious open source docs work has a cost. I wrote down every way that I know of that gets docs authors and maintainers paid. https://ddbeck.com/where-does-the-money-come-from/ #WriteTheDocs

#WriteTheDocs just released a bunch of new videos from their most recent conference and unfortunately some of them shill AI, but one video caught my attention and is definitely worth watching: The Most Human Documentation.
It talks about the things to avoid in order to not be mistaken by machine generation, and what it means for your #TechnicalWriting and #Documentation to feel human. The talk comments on this from a cultural perspective and it matches what I've been thinking about recently.
With the rise of LLMs and their gross effect on online text now there's humans that work on humanizing machine content, be it with deterministic tools or with humans. In the end humans prefer content that feels human, and human content continues to provide more value.
