Also, let's face it: technical writing isn't the most difficult type of writing
around. A good tech-writer isn't one whose prose is praised - in fact, if a
tech-writer's prose is noticed, there's probably something wrong. A good tech-
writer is one not only with writing skills, but also technical knowledge and
product management, interviewing and design skills. It's the combination of
skills that matters, not any single skill.
