Writing for engineers, Editing your own drafts
Owen wrote code for twelve years before he noticed that his design docs mattered more than his pull requests. He now runs documentation for a developer tools company and teaches engineers to write docs people read to the end.
His cohorts use the students' own RFCs, runbooks and postmortems. You leave with a document your team will actually use and a checklist for the next one.
