TechWhirl (TECHWR-L) is a resource for technical writing and technical communications professionals of all experience levels and in all industries to share their experiences and acquire information.
For two decades, technical communicators have turned to TechWhirl to ask and answer questions about the always-changing world of technical communications, such as tools, skills, career paths, methodologies, and emerging industries. The TechWhirl Archives and magazine, created for, by and about technical writers, offer a wealth of knowledge to everyone with an interest in any aspect of technical communications.
There was a lively thread on a similar topic back in December 1997.
There had been an article in the Washington Post about a TW shop
that made a point of hiring young, liberal arts grads (including
poets) to fix the perceived failings of jaded old specialists:
"Rather than technical writers, who Weber said were too
entrenched in both the subject matter and in the old formats,
the firm turned to liberal arts graduates.
Peter Beaupre, 21, with a bachelor's degree in classical studies
from Duke University, impressed Weber in his job interview by
describing how he had set part of the "Iliad," in ancient Greek,
to an original piece of music written in the style of German
composer Robert Schumann. "
