I’m still amazed at how little attention and love Technical Writing is receiving.
Tech Writers should be the heroes, not developers, because eventually great doc (technical, functional, use cases, best practices) will make the difference between an ok and a a great Agentic solution -not to mention SEO optimized “agentic” doc to show up in LLM recommendations.
You’re right: vibe coding may prove to be hell for tech writers. There’s no easy fix to that. Even worse, developers can’t even explain or confirm what the code truly does. Good luck documenting it!
While I like what Scott says, I have a sorta off-topic remark:the O and the D's in the picture are telltale signs of GenAI use - and a perfect illustration of how LLMs can miss things that common sense catches instantly.
Great post!

As my grandmother used to say: “If common sense were as common as it sounds, how come
so few people have it?”
