Have you ever come across documentation for a library or framework that was so good it made development painless? As it turns out, there's a whole field responsible for making that feeling a reality: technical writing. Lucas Costi is a technical writer at GitHub (you might have heard of it) and he's kindly joined us to talk about what his role involves and how he's combined technical and writing skills to produce stellar documentation for Red Hat and GitHub. He and Liv also discuss how poor documentation can be an incredible motivator for putting together something better.
