NeoNachowho called it “writing documentation” and not “manual labor”
Micah Cowsik-Herstand@NeoNacho Someone who was misled by the white supremacist patriarchal capitalist notion that there’s a difference between skilled labor and manual labor.
Alan Twigz@Quisley @NeoNacho And yet even work that can be automated often has remarkably different results when done by highly skilled humans versus machines (or people who are poorly trained and unmotivated due to starvation wages). I’m thinking of Roombas versus house cleaners and automated kiosks versus restaurant servers, but the same applies to automated documentation versus tech writers and compiled code versus code written in lower-level languages.

Thomas Beagle@NeoNacho I always referred to it as the "technical writing salt mines". Less witty but - yeah, I got out of that field.
@NeoNacho I prefer 'user guidance counseling'
@NeoNacho that may be my tech support showing though, it's mostly a social support job

Morten Juhl-Johansen@NeoNacho Writing documentation does indeed feel likely to be the closest a man can get to being in labor.
