Technical Writing 101

Technical writing means writing a documentation in a way that it is easy-to-understand for both technical as well as non-technical people.

If you have the right resources, the journey can be a little easier and can save you loads of time:

✅ Challenges To Commit:

• Write 1 article/ week.
• Write 500 words/ day.
• At least 4-5 blogs/ month.

Consider joining public challenges like 2articles1week by Hashnode. It will give you a push to write as you're committing in public:
