@ContentDesignLN This book has a lot of practical guidance, possibly a bit dated now, beyond the writing stuff that I learned in my tech writing classes. Stuff that you eventually found out on the job, but was good to read about when you were finding your way in a relatively new industry.

@ContentDesignLN The Tech Writer’s Survival Guide by Janet Ban Wicklen—At the time, about 20 years ago, this was the only book I could find. That early in my tech writing career, I hadn’t yet come across books and ideas about content design or content strategy.

@halvorson Thanks now I have too 😅

@scottkubie I think you just invented a new metric for UX and content design. “Amount of fuck” seems like a great thing to measure when making content design choices. 🙂 Like, “What is the AOF of this page for the user?” 😂
