Addressing critical needs driven by the dynamic world of #techDocs, Manny Silva has created Docs as Tests, a system that integrates well-developed #techComms practices and a collection of engineering tooling to help #technicalWriters streamline and constantly improve their software #documentation and #QA work.

This was a fun chat with a deeply experienced Silicon Valley #content veteran. I hope you enjoy the conversation as much as I did.

This week on Stained Glass Woman, I've got something unusual for y'all: a seven-year research project looking at #syllabus #design that I couldn't get published in any peer-reviewed journal. It's my hope that anyone who's a #teacher or works in #TechnicalWriting / #TechComms can make use of the research I did, peer reviewed or no.

And if you're here for my stuff on gender, don't worry--we're gonna dive into Judith Butler next week!
