Great list of talks at this year’s #writethedocs east conference. Bummer that I can’t be there. You’ll just have to enjoy it double (which should be easy!).

“If your boss is asking you to quantify the value of your work, you need to understand that your work indeed has no value. Not at that company. Not with that boss.”
Applies to #techcomm, too. #writethedocs twitter.com/mralancooper/s…

If #techcomm wants to usability test their documentation, here are some tips for setting up a testing space. It doesn’t have to be complicated or expensive. #writethedocs twitter.com/MeasuringU/sta…

I love it when devs talk about documentation. #techcomm needs to be alert for these moments to:
- help answer their questions
- share tips and tricks
- meet allies for future conversations
- learn more about their audience

Maybe there’s an opportunity for #techcomm to help devs write more readable code? #writethedocs twitter.com/ThePracticalDe…

Finally had a chance to reflect on the #writethedocs PDX conference. docsbydesign.com
In a few days, I’ll work up the nerve to watch the video of my talk and see what I can learn for next time.

While I was able to attend this year, I want to thank all the prolific tweeters for their efforts and tell them I’ve appreciated their work in the past when I’ve not been able to attend #writethedocs

Reviewing your GitHub account seems to be the CV equivalent of "just read the code" for documentation. Sure it might work, but there are more efficient ways to communicate with the audience. #techcomm #writethedocs benfrederickson.com/github-wont-he…

And please include quality documentation in your budget.
You can thank me later.

My new favorite #techcomm site: techcomm.nz/Category?Actio… Best practice articles with references to the source research from which the best practices are derived. I'm in TC research geek heaven! #writethedocs

An interesting topic for #techcomm, does your content need to be read quickly or slowly? (hint, not all content is alike) #writethedocs medium.com/@zeldman/we-ne…

I'm not a fan of using ROI for #techcomm, but this is a great article about using the need to demonstrate ROI as a reason to develop meaningful measurements and benchmarks (and they cited references!) uxmatters.com/mt/archives/20… #writethedocs

I love it when I find an article on content metrics that makes me smile. medium.com/contentstrateg… provides advice that even #techcomm should heed. Love the quote from Mike Powers: "Pageviews aren’t the goal. Your goal is the goal." #writethedocs twitter.com/hilarymarsh/st…
