The Song About Tech Writing That Nobody Asked For (But Honestly, We Needed)

A laid-back reggae track that somehow captures the chaos, craft, and quiet wins of technical writing better than most status meetings ever will

There’s a specific kind of exhaustion tech writers understand — the kind where you fix everything and nobody notices… which is exactly the point.

Now imagine that feeling set to reggae.

“I Feel Your Pain” by Thomas Aldous (assisted by AI) is basically your workday with a beat. Deadlines shifting, tools changing, “quick updates” multiplying like rabbits — it’s all there. And somehow, it’s both funny and a little too accurate.

The line that lands hardest?

“Nobody sees the little saves…”

That’s the job. Quiet fixes. Invisible wins. Preventing chaos no one realizes almost happened.

Then it sneaks in something bigger: we were structuring knowledge, modeling systems, and making meaning long before AI showed up. That hasn’t changed.

AI can generate words. It still depends on people who know what those words mean.

So yeah — give it a listen. If nothing else, it’s three minutes of feeling seen… without having to update a screenshot. 🤠
