Re: Which skill to acquire

[Ryan Haber <ryan -dot- haber -at- gmail -dot- com>]

I document APIs for my job. There are a lot of projects out there on
GitHub, for instance, that desperately need documentation so it's easy to
get involved. Writing API docs requires and builds a few skills that are
themselves in demand or gratifying to develop.

As more and more software companies add into their business model
interactivity with others' software, APIs get more and more important.
