My best advice for better technical communication is to *stop* doing two things:
- Introducing the topic with general facts
- "Tell 'em what you’re going to say, say it, then tell them what you said"
- Introducing the topic with general facts
- "Tell 'em what you’re going to say, say it, then tell them what you said"
I've forever grateful to @timbray for coaching me out of the latter before my Google IO talk in 2011.
I still struggle to not do the "broad general statement" thing. When I need inspiration, I often look to @b0rk's writing.
