Too Technical???
I am very interested in Iliana's post. If I didn't poke and prod engineers
and deveolopers around here I wouldn't know anything. It seems to me I
should be more concerned with how the product works, not how the software
is coded.
John, are you supposing we technical writers know how to code? Personally I
don't think that's relevant. So when someone mentions that the meetings are
too technical, I immediately understood what that meant. I serioiusly doubt
Tech writers are expected to know how to code software. That's the majority
of the meetings around here and YES they are too technical.
