This article seems to be based on second- and third-hand information rather than personal experience. I agree with others that it seems at least partially AI-generated. If you're a software developer interested in working as a technical writer, I think the better resource is Writing for Software Developers by Philip Kiely.[0] The title makes it sound like a book on technique, but it's more about the business of writing and finding freelance jobs writing tutorials and technical walkthroughs. Philip wrote it early in his career, but he had several years of professional experience as a technical writer already, which seems not to be true of OP. Philip also maintains Who Pays Technical Writers,[1] a resource I'd trust for market rates more than any listed in TFA.
