Re: "Surviving the Dying Career of Technical Writing"

[Robert Lauriston <robert -at- lauriston -dot- com>]

In the software industry, at least, a developer who can write can make
a lot more money writing software.

I've worked with two developers who switched to writing because they
preferred it. One of them had a tendency to turn everything into a
development project, which made him not very productive.
