This is a guest post from one of our leaders, Bryant Burkhart. When I was a kid, one of my favorite books to read/peruse—aside from my parent’s 1974 set of World Book Encyclopedias—was the Reader’s Digest Guide New Fix It Yourself Manual. Chock full of diagrams and instructions on how to dismantle everything from your air condition to your toaster, I read that thing from cover to cover more times than I can count. I was so ready to just… fix anything. All the time. I felt equipped, empowered, enlightened. And that’s the simple beauty of technical writing. Free from moral quandary, ethical dilemmas, character development… humanity; technical writing allows us to communicate ideas and skills across time and space in an easy-to-use fashion.
