Free idea: instead of parties, sponsor childcare at big conferences. I would remember and love that brand way more than if you gave me a free drink.

Hey, so, quick note: You don’t get extra special points for dissing a game. You’re not edgy. Some really talented people cooked. They gave their best. If you don’t like it, it’s not for you. Move on and play your thing. We’re going to be over here gushing and fawning.

Inherited an internal website project: unrealistic expectations, poorly defined goals, shrinking resources. "Under construction" pages suck. Here's my "under construction" page. IDGAF in the most constructive, helpful way I can. #techWriterLife #technicalWriting #writeTheDocs

But I actually enjoy interviewing developers about their code, they are often so passionate about it #techwritingmemes #memeday

Hey, Knitter Twitter, you know that piece of advice about freezing down angora yarn before knitting with it, to prevent the floof from going everywhere? I did not follow that. And I just want to say, if you’re about to cast on with angora, maybe you should.

@_Unsolved_ Also (more like "tech workers in general"): When you and your coworkers pounce on the goodies left over from an executive meeting like starving German soldiers.

What if Academy Awards nominated films were about being a technical writer: 🏆Everything Everywhere All at once is when developers are adding last-minute changes just before release and tech writers need to juggle the multiple realities
