"4. You’re not just a writer, you’re an advocate for clarity
I thought being a technical writer meant simply explaining what someone else built. But it’s so much more than that. You’re there to simplify complexity, anticipate user needs, and advocate for clarity.
Why it’s key: A good writer doesn’t just document systems, they improve them. In most cases, you should be the first real user of a new feature. Your fresh perspective can highlight gaps and improve the overall experience."
