Late to the game so this might be new to some of y'all too.
But the Technical Writing modules in the @developers.google.com ALSO talk about accessible and effective error messages, documentation... AND ALT TEXT. #accessibility #techcomm
Instead of replacing #techcomm jobs, AI may make technical writers more essential (and visible!) than ever: www.cherryleaf.com/2026/02/5-re...
Because it’s the first self told history of women in technology and women in tech are usually crippled by doubts. Like now.
Arrgghh!

🚫 Stop using acronyms! Jargon like "AI-powered RPA" or "NLP-driven KPIs" confuses leadership & customers. Translate geek-speak to business value: "Our system speeds up decisions by 30%." Clear communication wins budgets, closes deals, & keeps customers. #TechComm #BusinessValue
Technical communication, as a field of practice and study, has grown larger and more varied in response to the rapidly developing technologies, new forms of globalization, and shifting institutional demands of the past 20 years—all greatly intensified by the COVID-19 pandemic within the last five. How do instructors of technical communication, in 2025–2026, meet the current moment as well as contemporary student needs? This roundtable calls for creative and innovative approaches to the teaching of technical communication. Following the conference theme of “regeneration,” the session invites presentations that share pedagogical frameworks and/or strategies that critically innovate, expand, or reframe what students may think of as the “traditional” technical communication classroom and its stereotypes of “dull, document-based” work (Bridgeford, Kitalong & Selfe 2). Approaches related to social justice, community engagement, and/or feminist pedagogy, as well as experiential teaching practices such as project-based learning and arts-based pedagogy, are particularly welcome.

6. The benefit to clients? No wasted time sifting through irrelevant CVs. Just highly qualified, pre-vetted Technical Authors who truly match your specific needs. #HiringSolutions #Recruitment #TechnicalAuthor #TechComm
The Specialist Edge. Why do generalist recruiters struggle to find top Technical Authors?
1. Out of the approx 2 million people working in IT in the UK, only 3K-9K are Technical Authors (and less looking for work). This makes finding candidates difficult.
