Collaborative editing of Markdown docs in GitHub / GitLab can be a pain. This is a huge game changer for technical writers. Admittedly not the biggest crowd, but hey...

Such a huge quality of life improvement for technical writers who rely on Gsuite collaboration features while editing Markdown docs. Thank you!

You'd think that OpenAI, by now, had technical writers on payroll. Well, according to LinkedIn, they don't. It's not that surprising, then, that their documentation is in such a sorry state. Why they haven't hired specia

I hear you, the tone might be too much to some. But it's also part of what makes it so fresh and almost a McSweeney's article.

Quality journalism, and, even more importantly, free journalism (as in neutral or unbiased), costs money. I think a subscription is a very low effort compared to the kind of risks and hard work top reporters go through. Another angle: prose

You're assuming that Traefik has a team of technical writers taking care of the docs. From what I know, that's not the case.

Ah, Feyerabend. So often shunned and belittled as an enemy of science—so often feared. His conversations with Imre Lakatos still hold up well to this day. For an unbiased analysis of Feyerabend's impact, I recommend this book review: h

So you quit potentially life-saving research because you couldn't open a terminal session to a cell culture? Why did you even enter that field in the first place? Genuine question.

I use locations from Lord of the Rings and the Silmarillion. My PC is a black tower, so I called it Isengard. My fair MacBook Air is Valinor. The Raspberry Pi is Bree.

A nice tool for research, or for documenting third-party APIs. Let's not forget, though, that one of the goals of OpenAPI is to serve as a design and documentation artifact in design-first API development; generating OpenAPI from code

Reading video game magazines when I was a kid always left me wondering about how those great effects were achieved. Games seemed to be way more mysterious back then, tiny black boxes streamed from tapes or floppies. I wonder if in 30 years
