#TechnicalWriting #SoftwareDocumentation #SoftwareDevelopment #DocsAsCode: "While writing documentation is the most obvious part of a Technical Writer’s job, it’s actually the element you will probably spend the least amount of time on in your day-to-day work. “I write maybe a quarter of my time,” says Mike. The rest of the day is made up of activities like:

- Setting up and testing software
- Figuring out the process and schedule for releasing a new feature
- Identifying and submitting bug reports

Technical Writers typically write about brand new features that haven’t been documented or released yet, Mike says.

Experimenting in this early stage naturally leads to finding bugs and collaborating with development to determine workarounds. While filing bugs sounds like a diversion, Mike says it’s actually a big part of what makes the role rewarding. “When I finally get to the solution, I think, ‘Wow, this actually works! I can’t wait to write about this.’”"
