Miguel Afonso Caetano"Your voice must be heard. Inside of your work, you need key stakeholders and teams to know what it is that you do and the value you bring to product development. Your docs are vital infrastructure, but folks won’t realize that until it’s too late. Unless, of course, you become an ambassador of your craft and start making yourself heard and present everywhere. One of the first things I did when I joined a startup was sending an email to the team telling them what I did. It became my first post.Outside of work, this task is equally important, because tech writing has a depth issue. You must develop a sense of pride in technical communication as a vital discipline. Don’t shy away from intellectual engagement and contribute to the field by sharing your own thoughts, theories, and errors. Some career ladders label that as “thought leadership”. It’s really about showing up and owning the conversation around what we do and why it matters, moving beyond praxis to noesis."<a href="https://passo.uno/how-to-grow-senior-tech-writer/" rel="nofollow noopener" translate="no" target="_blank">https://passo.uno/how-to-grow-senior-tech-writer/</a><a href="https://tldr.nettime.org/tags/TechnicalWriting" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#TechnicalWriting</a> <a href="https://tldr.nettime.org/tags/TechnicalWriter" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#TechnicalWriter</a> <a href="https://tldr.nettime.org/tags/TechnicalCommunication" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#TechnicalCommunication</a> <a href="https://tldr.nettime.org/tags/LifeLongLearning" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#LifeLongLearning</a> <a href="https://tldr.nettime.org/tags/SoftwareDocumentation" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#SoftwareDocumentation</a> <a href="https://tldr.nettime.org/tags/DocsAsInfrastructure" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#DocsAsInfrastructure</a>

When I tell my journo and writer friends what I do their eyes glaze over and they subtly hint it's the most boring/terrifying job they've heard of.

I can count the number of paid vacations (at least 4+ consecutive paid days off) I've taken on one hand. I'm sofa king tired. I'm ready for a career break.
