8:41 it's not just about documentation

@DodaGarcia

This was so useful!! I have always ignored documentation (aside from inconsistent comments in the code) because I'm typically the only user, but I've recently realized that when you only use a piece of software every few months, you might as well be a total stranger to it because you have to relearn how all of it works each time.

This inspired me to document the API so that I don't have that extra friction next time I have to use the code. Thank you Beth!

@ErnestoCode

Great speaker, loved the clean layouts of her slides, the simplicity is so elegant.

@kresnofatihimani5073

swear to god, she's right. ive seen documentations with abundance in details but does not help much in achieving what i want which usually forces me to look immediately at a use case in a medium blog or something

@ColbyCBoone

This was super helpful , I’m a platform PM & writing documents for a technical audience has been challenging I’m looking to grow an improve in this area.

@zenginellc

This definitely helped in reflecting on my documentation styles and how to improve it.
Thank you!

@hamedahmadi9291

great content and beautiful smile at the end

@issaothedev

Great talk!  I love the last point. Often people try to mitigate the problem with documentation and don't try to solve the underlying problem

@roland7599

@mosesket

Does anyone have a sample doc like she explained here

@preciousonyewuchi5128

Does anyone know how to get a link to the blog she mentioned?

@raoulkoopman9408

Anyone able to get the name of that blog?

@MainlyWebStuff

Nice talk - good advice, especially 'write readably'
