👋 hello! re: hiring archivists & librarians, reminder that we, technical writers, exist! 😁
and you interviewed one of us … 7 years ago! https://changelog.com/rfc/5
we’re a diverse bunch who could have library sciences, info studies degrees, communication, computer science etc. degrees and years of domain knowledge, and our entire jobs are to keep your stuff usable and your documentation in good shape 🙌

Nice! the short answer is … yes! I’m a ‘technical writer’ 😁
