The Importance Of Tech Writing
By Daniel Miessler on July 21st, 2005: Tagged as Language | Writing
A book review on Slashdot had an interesting quote in the context of technical writing today:
“There is a school of thought that says if you cannot explain what you’ve done, then what you did was worthless.”
I don’t think that’s always or absolutely the case, but it definitely has some truth to it. I think being able to articulate concepts both verbally and in written form is highly useful regardless of one’s industry.
It doesn’t matter if it’s banking, law, or IT — if you can impart understanding onto others, you’ll have a massive advantage in the workplace. This ability is something I’ll continue to work to improve.
