I think even technical writing, this article is relevant. Sometimes people gloss over the important things and drill down into details that are not as relevant to the reader in technical pieces. It's good to remember, for example, to stay on subject and not ramble.


Sure, but I think reading _Plain Words_ will (take longer &) give a better framework for writing great documentation.


I tried to make the tutorial very thorough so even someone who only understands the very very basics of Git could follow it. It may be a pretty verbose method, I'm not super advanced myself, but it took me a lot of Googling to figure it out, because nowhere did everyone have one full post on what I wanted to do.

Some Monday motivation if you haven't started something you've been wanting to for fear of failure or wanting it to be perfect the first time. ;)


I love Rapportive!

Boomerang (http://www.boomeranggmail.com/) for scheduling emails, I especially love the follow up feature: you schedule a follow up email to send at a certain time but ONLY if there is no reply. If there has been a reply, the email will be cancelled.

Started using Sidekick by Hubspot (https://app.getsidekick.com) recently to track opens and clicks in emails, that's been useful too. I used to use Yesware but Sidekick is, so far in my experience, much better and provides more detail.
