The most interesting technical writer in the world

Posted on 11. Jan, 2012 by Melanie in Fun, Writing

Inspired by the IA Summit Library’s post on The Most Valuable UX Person in the World, I recently initiated my own round of “The Most Valuable Technical Writer in the World” with my co-workers.

It didn’t really catch on.

But I did succeed in amusing myself.

And now, ladies and gentlemen, the Most Interesting Technical Writer in the World:

  • Her brain is widely considered the world’s most reliable version control system.
  • What he sees is really what he gets.
  • Tim O’Reilly cried for 3 weeks when she took him off her Christmas card list.
  • He once explained agile development by means of a single haiku.
  • Spell checkers run all their emails through her.
  • Larry Wall once admitted that there’s really only one way to do it—her way.

That’s all I got. You have any? Add them in the comments!
