"Among the many forms of yak shaving that plague our craft is obsessing over documentation tooling. The more technically minded among us are guilty of spending too much time tightening the screws of some CI pipeline just to save a few seconds when building the docs. As exercises, they’re indeed useful, for they help us practice technical skills that might lead us to becoming docs engineers. Should we park writing the docs over picking static-site generators though?

The danger lies in mistaking the motion for progress. A perfectly tuned pipeline that builds no new useful content is a monument to wasted effort. It’s the equivalent of a chef who spends all day sharpening their knives to a razor’s edge but never actually cooks a meal. The knives are essential, but they are not the dinner. Our tools are essential, but they are not the documentation. The user who is stuck at 2 AM with a failing API call does not care about your elegant build process; they care about finding the answer."

passo.uno · Things technical writers shouldn't care about... yetStrategy, Michael Porter wrote, is choosing what not to do. Now, the problem with knowledge work such as the one tech writers carry out is that it’s full of things that seem to require equally important, time-consuming decisions. While engaging in lengthy disquisitions might be alluring, endlessly combing the Zen garden of theory doesn’t solve the basic problem of the docs hierarchy of needs, which is writing the damn docs and making sure they’re accurate, useful, and easy to follow.

Zentrum Digitale Souveränität

Gemeinsam Open-Source-Apps entwickeln, um Europas Digitale Souveränität zu stärken – das stand vom 2. – 4. Juni im Mittelpunkt der #HackDays in Paris mit besonderem Fokus auf kollaborative Tools für die tägliche Zusammenarbeit.

Neben dem ZenDiS nahm auch unser openDesk-Partner #OpenProject am Hackathon teil: @openproject integrierte Task-Management-Features zwischen dem von @dinum und uns entwickelten #Docs und seiner eigenen Projektmanagement-Anwendung – und gewann die Zweitplatzierung 🏆

New entry in #curated #creators on tube.inlinestyle.it/ we decided to surface the work of @trom as they have a great vlog on #vanlife

#peertube and the #fediverse have a lot of #technology content, and it's great to be able to surface the gems on other topics too.

If you have an inlinestyle.it account you can subscribe to their content at tube.inlinestyle.it/c/tromhome

#RTFM is great and all but when a project's #docs are riddled with incorrect / outdated config field names and other stuff, it's a huge waste of time.

Please check the accuracy of your docs! Do a fresh install of your project and follow your own steps and copy paste your own example configs if you can.

Remember that many users will not file an issue, and simply assume your project is hopeless, especially if it doesn't have a big following.
