Storytelling is a superpower. A key to unlocking growth in your writing, startups, marketing, business, or career. THREAD: 10+ principles of effective storytelling (that you can start using today):
"Technical posts are structured differently than regular blog posts. A technical post requires you to provide meta information to the reader because they might decide to implement whatever it is you are explaining." Pablo Rivera @TechWritingBook #blog dev.to/yelluw/how-to-…
How to do async work well: "Everyone writes well, and writes a lot."
Everyone should write a technical talk or blog post. You don't even have to present or publish it. The act of writing down everything you know about a subject will give you confidence like none other.
I don’t think being a better writer will make you a better coder. However, it will make you more effective at technical communication, which will make you a better software engineer.
Ah, the dump doc is for text that has not yet been published. It's a great source of material for future blog posts!
A document with all the bits you cut ✂️ from a book/article manuscript 📜 is one of the most useful things you will come back to later. 👍
I was just told apparently it’s weird to have a “dump document” open where you copy and paste the things you’ve decided to cut from your written draft (right now, a motion) *just in case you need it later.* I save it in the file b/c I can’t let go. Anyone else do this?

"When we talked to Engineers nobody said they didn't care about docs. They felt bad not writing docs. But it was just too hard, lacked the right incentives and rewards. Providing the right tools removes that friction." @rionam answering question about poor docs #DevOpsDaysGalway
This is why things like open source and honest public tech blog posts are so telling for org culture. Openness is usually grounded in reality and reflective practice.
Organisation culture is normally broken when it starts to default to inward looking rather than outward looking
Don't take notes on a laptop; write them by hand instead. When you take notes on paper, you actually learn more, have a stronger conceptual understanding, and can better apply and integrate the material scientificamerican.com/article/a-lear…
