Hugo van KemenadeThe Python version diagram has been updated to show the bugfix/security split for each release. (Before, the bars were either completely green or yellow.)<a href="https://devguide.python.org/versions/" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" translate="no" target="_blank">https://devguide.python.org/versions/</a>It's also zoomed in and shows fewer releases than before. There's another chart further down the page showing all of 2.6 to 3.14.

Miguel Afonso Caetano"[T]he lack of a clear entry path makes the profession less accessible, contributing to a lack of diversity in tech writing teams. If technical writing is to remain relevant in an industry that values innovation and inclusion, it needs to welcome new voices.Fixing this problem won’t happen overnight, but there are steps companies and the broader industry can take to rebuild the pipeline for entry-level talent:- Reintroduce mentorship programs. - Companies can pair senior writers with juniors to share knowledge and help newcomers build confidence. - Redefine “entry-level” roles. - Stop asking for years of experience in entry-level job postings. - Focus instead on transferable skills like writing, research, and adaptability. - Create apprenticeships or internships. - Paid opportunities to learn on the job can give aspiring writers the experience they need to land full-time roles. Invest in training. - Documentation teams should have budgets for upskilling new hires — not just hiring pre-trained professionals."<a href="https://willkelly.medium.com/how-the-technical-writing-profession-betrayed-entry-level-tech-writers-8a0c05617efd" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" translate="no" target="_blank">https://willkelly.medium.com/how-the-technical-writing-profession-betrayed-entry-level-tech-writers-8a0c05617efd</a><a href="https://tldr.nettime.org/tags/TechnicalWriting" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#TechnicalWriting</a> <a href="https://tldr.nettime.org/tags/TechnicalCommunication" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#TechnicalCommunication</a> <a href="https://tldr.nettime.org/tags/SoftwareDocumentation" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#SoftwareDocumentation</a> <a href="https://tldr.nettime.org/tags/SoftwareDevelopment" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#SoftwareDevelopment</a> <a href="https://tldr.nettime.org/tags/Docs" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#Docs</a> <a href="https://tldr.nettime.org/tags/Documentation" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#Documentation</a>

Miguel Afonso Caetano“Fortunately, I think there’s a good alternative to the dismal picture of brain-dead tech writers pressing buttons on AI machines and passing the content to SMEs for review. That alternative is to focus on what AI algorithms can’t do (at least not with a few button clicks). In this revised approach, tech writers offload the simple tasks to AI tools to fix while focusing their real time and energy on more complex, ambitious tasks that are beyond the straightforward capabilities of AI tools.When I say beyond AI capabilities, I still mean AI tools might assist or augment tech writers in the work; it’s just that the tasks aren’t as simple as the mechanical tasks of fixing doc bugs that I described earlier (e.g., “what’s the issue? what’s the fix?”).For example, when I set about creating complex tree diagrams showing all elements in an API, this was a new kind of documentation that hadn’t been done before at my company. It became an instant hit and one that proved challenging to maintain and grow and fix, but still worthwhile. (In fact, in a chat with a product manager last week, he wondered if our tree diagram page wasn’t the most popular page in our documentation.)If we focused more on these sophisticated tasks (beyond click-button AI), I think tech writers could have a brighter future.”<a href="https://idratherbewriting.com/blog/recursive-self-improvement-complex-tasks" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" translate="no" target="_blank">https://idratherbewriting.com/blog/recursive-self-improvement-complex-tasks</a><a href="https://tldr.nettime.org/tags/TechnicalWriting" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#TechnicalWriting</a> <a href="https://tldr.nettime.org/tags/SoftwareDocumentation" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#SoftwareDocumentation</a> <a href="https://tldr.nettime.org/tags/APIDocumentation" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#APIDocumentation</a> <a href="https://tldr.nettime.org/tags/AI" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#AI</a> <a href="https://tldr.nettime.org/tags/GenerativeAI" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#GenerativeAI</a> <a href="https://tldr.nettime.org/tags/LLMs" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#LLMs</a> <a href="https://tldr.nettime.org/tags/Docs" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#Docs</a>
