Building off this, the last time I remember anyone being a copywriter at a software company I’d worked for was IBM in 2015.

They simply expected the developers to write the documentation. Strangely, this actually worked some of the time, but is usually why modern docs are usually cobbled together and half-finished, or omitted entirely.

Say what you will about AI being used in this way, but it’s still fuckloads better than the current trend of putting everything on fucking Discord jfc whyyyyy
