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.
This seems to be a major "future trend" in many companies,
especially big ones who perceive themselves as being some
kind of "revolutionary force" in their fields of business.
Posted accounts of the hiring processes at companies like
Microsoft and Amazon sound more like the initiaion rites
for Skull and Bones, and conversations with some of the
people who actually make it through sometimes remind me
of airport encounters I had in the 80's with people in orange
robes.
