Hosts Daphne and Fred share their analysis of the article "The Eight Pillars of Technical Writing" from the Curt Robbins & Associates Technical Writing Agency that was published on August 23, 2024.

An excerpt from the article: "Technical writing, a vibrant and essential layer of modern communications within enterprise organizations and IT departments, stands on several foundational pillars. A clear understanding of these pillars can help hiring managers, HR personnel, recruiters, and junior technical writers. Senior technical writers should already know all of this, quite honestly—but a bit of brush up never hurts, now does it?

"These technical writing pillars help ensure clarity, accuracy, and overall effectiveness when researching, documenting, or publishing/releasing complex documentation."
