Hey, #documentation people, don't forget to fill out the #WriteTheDocs salary survey: https://salary-survey.writethedocs.org/ It's open only until the end of the year, and it's for anyone who has worked in documentation in some capacity this year. The results will be freely available to use as a handy resource in 2025.

Calling those who write #documentation or work in a closely adjacent role!

The Write the Docs salary survey is live and available. This is for anyone who has been paid for documentation or documentation-adjacent work in the past year, regardless of current work status, employee/contractor classification, location, and so on.

OK, so first life update is that I'm looking for work.

Fully remote, perm or contract, senior docs or docs lead type stuff.

Assorted relevant hashtags #writeTheDocs , #techWriting, #docsAsCode, #FediHire, #API

Looking for my next role as a #documentation manager or lead technical writer.

I’m in British Columbia, Canada. Remote roles only.

Check me out on LinkedIn (https://linkedin.com/in/polarweasel/) and GitHub (https://github.com/polarweasel/)

I got laid off this morning. I’ll have more to say later on after I process a little bit. Meanwhile, I’m looking for my next opportunity, and looking forward to leading another great team of technical writers as we #writethedocs.

In terms of #introductions, I'm an avid tech writer at work and often found writing blog posts and reading about music, data analysis, metadata, machine learning, data ethics, borders on the web, accessibility, inclusivity, and more.

I'm a big fan of cultivating community so I stay aware of local politics + housing/transit/bike/pedestrian advocacy here in SF as well

Suppose I should give a re- #introduction for my second instance shuffle

- I'm a #technical #writer by day
- I #WriteTheDocs
- I work at #minio, the object store
- I like reading #fantasy and #sci_fi
- I'm a #dad to three
- I'm owned by two #cats (a tabby and a tuxedo); they were pandemic kittens
- I work from home, and like it that way
- I #knit things, mostly blankets
- I'm a Next Gen #Trekkie
- I watch #LOTR extended editions at least yearly
- I live in the mountains of north central Pennsylvania, and love it

Guess I should do an #introduction again, hopefully connect with a few new folks interested in the same stuff. Hi New Folks! Welcome!
