Miguel Afonso Caetano<p>"Technical documentation as an industry is at a crossroads. If we don't invest in the next generation of experts—consultants, educators, and documentation strategists—we're looking at a future where companies try to automate away problems they don't fully understand, and the only available documentation training is a two-hour webinar hosted by someone who just discovered Markdown last week.</p><p>So, if you're an industry veteran, here's my plea: write it all down before you retire. Mentor someone. Record a video explaining why metadata matters. Start a blog. Write a book (or three). Please do something to ensure that when you finally sign off for good, the rest aren't left googling "How to create a sustainable documentation strategy " and getting a bunch of AI-generated nonsense in return.</p><p>Otherwise, the future of tech comm might be one long, desperate, less-than-helpful Slack thread."</p><p><a href="https://www.thecontentwrangler.com/p/the-great-documentation-brain-drain?r=8sej&amp;utm_campaign=post&amp;utm_medium=web" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" translate="no" target="_blank"><span class="invisible">https://www.</span><span class="ellipsis">thecontentwrangler.com/p/the-g</span><span class="invisible">reat-documentation-brain-drain?r=8sej&amp;utm_campaign=post&amp;utm_medium=web</span></a></p><p><a href="https://tldr.nettime.org/tags/TechnicalWriting" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>TechnicalWriting</span></a> <a href="https://tldr.nettime.org/tags/SoftwareDocumentation" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>SoftwareDocumentation</span></a> <a href="https://tldr.nettime.org/tags/SoftwareDevelopment" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>SoftwareDevelopment</span></a> <a href="https://tldr.nettime.org/tags/Programming" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>Programming</span></a> <a href="https://tldr.nettime.org/tags/BrainDrain" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>BrainDrain</span></a></p>

Vincarsi<p>Just had a random idea and want to throw it to the Zeitgeist: <a href="https://mastodon.social/tags/softwareDevelopment" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>softwareDevelopment</span></a> <br>An open-source software/app called Quest board, that gamifys <a href="https://mastodon.social/tags/MutualAid" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>MutualAid</span></a> tasks. I'm imagining a functionality similar to taskrabbit or something, but instead of exchanging money, the "dasher" interface is setup like an RPG. Through completing tasks and feedback scores you can gain rewards and achievements that increase your priority for having tasks completed and unlocking features like posting muti-person tasks</p>

Miguel Afonso Caetano<p>Idiots running amok:</p><p>"The database Musk took the screenshot from listed almost 400 million people, which is more than five times the number of people receiving benefits in 2024, according to the SSA’s own website. It’s also significantly more than the entire US population.<br>The fact that the Social Security system contains millions of entries from people who are dead is likely distinct from a potential COBOL-caused error, and also not news. A report written by the SSA’s inspector general in 2023 found that 98 percent of those aged 100 or older in the Social Security databases are not in receipt of any benefits.
