Mike TassanoThe last segment of my working life was doing technical writing for software companies in <a href="https://sfba.social/tags/SiliconValley" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#SiliconValley</a>. Understanding the software was easy, I had been a programmer for a long time before becoming a <a href="https://sfba.social/tags/techWriter" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#techWriter</a>.The hard part was trying to put things into terms my audience would 'get' and I really admire people who can do that. That’s why I devour everything <a href="https://mastodon.social/@Daojoan" class="u-url mention" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">@Daojoan</a> sends out.She got me to <a href="https://sfba.social/tags/Vivaldi" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#Vivaldi</a> and <a href="https://sfba.social/tags/Joplin" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#Joplin</a> and helped me see that privacy and software freedom is more than <a href="https://sfba.social/tags/LibreOffice" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#LibreOffice</a> and <a href="https://sfba.social/tags/ProtonMail" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#ProtonMail</a>. Go read her stuff. You won’t be disappointed.

Elizabeth Tai | 戴秀铃 🇲🇾Ok serious question to <a href="https://hachyderm.io/tags/Jira" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#Jira</a> users. I find using it throughout the day strains and exhausts my brain due to the numerous links, UI features. And when I switch from one tab to another, especially to a Jira page, I suddenly forget what I am supposed to do on the Jira page. How do you all manage this??Or is it just me??<a href="https://hachyderm.io/tags/Tech" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#Tech</a> <a href="https://hachyderm.io/tags/techwriter" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#techwriter</a> <a href="https://hachyderm.io/tags/softwareengineering" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#softwareengineering</a> <a href="https://hachyderm.io/tags/software" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#software</a>
