A while back i took both modules, they don’t take long to go through. Module 1 wasn’t any value to me, it felt far far too basic, i was really caught off guard by how basic it is. Module 2 was ok-ish. The lasting change these courses left in me was more appreciation for investing time and effort into illustrations.
I found other resources to be more impactful for me personally (e.g. jacobian / i’d rather be writing).
I liked this model https://documentation.divio.com/ https://documentation.divio.com/ - agreeing with people what purpose the docs they’re writing are for is a big chunk of the problem surface area. Having a model makes life easier. I’m not sure it has to be this exact model but this one seems good enough to me.
A counterproductive tendency I’ve observed frequently is when an SME is tasked with documenting their thing and they go off in ELI5 mode. So tutorial instead of how-to per the above model. Having that model helps keep those conversations short and productive.
