If you don't care about your users and making their tasks easier, then what
the heck are you doing there? If you can't care about any users what the
heck are you doing in technical writing?

What many of us tech writers love about our field is the craft of making
ordinary users' jobs easier by explaining that which is difficult to
explain. Learning the technology to do technical writing is just a means to
that end, not and end in itself.

Make your subject material as accessible to your users as you can; if you
have already done that, then find employment where you are truly needed.
