Podcast: Tech writing and Zen and the Art of Motorcycle Maintenance, with Dan Grabski
In this episode, I chat with Dan Grabski, a tech writer based in Portland, both about his recent WTD talk titled Zen and the Art of Manually Creating API Documentation and Robert Pirsig's Zen and the Art of Motorcycle Maintenance. Dan explains the importance of focusing not just on technical details of implementations but also the people side, on understanding the perspectives of different users and stakeholders involved. Dan provides examples from his engineering background to illustrate how intuition develops from experience, and we explore concepts like avoiding spectator mode as a tech writer, finding a peaceful state of mind for learning, and the value of incremental progress. Overall, it's a great conversation about engaging more deeply with technology to write better documentation.
