TechWhirl (TECHWR-L) is a resource for technical writing and technical communications professionals of all experience levels and in all industries to share their experiences and acquire information.
For two decades, technical communicators have turned to TechWhirl to ask and answer questions about the always-changing world of technical communications, such as tools, skills, career paths, methodologies, and emerging industries. 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.
What happens when technology progresses to the point that

We as tech writers have jobs (for awhile) because we can make the
complicated simple, or so the myth goes. We sometimes take a
form-follows-function product and complicate it for the sake of
page count.
