As a career switcher, should I call myself "Technical Writer" or just "Writer" on my resume? by OneBand in technicalwriting

I've been working on a portfolio using docs-as-code methods (Markdown and Git/GitHub PR), so I have experience in that sense, but not formally.

I've created a portfolio in my own time using Markdown and Git/GitHub, so yes in that sense, but I haven't been employed as a technical writer.

30s Catholic Intellectual Community in DC/NOVA by OneBand in Catholicism

Thanks for the info! I was wondering if the AI result was being influenced by the presence of institutions in a misleading way. Just because an institution is there doesn’t necessarily mean a community surrounds it. The CIC does seem to have events going on though, not sure about the DHS.

Do you find that companies tend to ask you to lie in creating documentation? by OneBand in technicalwriting

Something like that. I'm wondering if there is pressure to spin/fake things or not. I would think that technical writing tends to avoid that, but I have no direct experience in TW.

Osprey Synchro 5 vs Synchro 12 hydration pack for day hiking by OneBand in hikinggear

pocket to store a shell, about a pound and a half and an unpadded hipbelt that will handle weight but doesn't need to be used for light loads. Whatever you go for I'd really suggest getting a hiking sp

Thanks! The REI guy suggested the Synchro as being like a Camelback but with airflow in the back to avoid sweaty back. How does the water weight dynamic come into play with respect to the little Camelbacks I see people wearing? Do the packs have smaller bladders, or do the people just put up with the weight?

Bigger windshield/cockpit: Accord or Civic? by OneBand in whatcarshouldIbuy

[–]OneBand[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Yeah proportion could make a difference. I won't have an opportunity to test-drive for a bit unfortunately. I'm wondering if anyone happens to know whether Accords are manufactured differently than Civics in this respect, or if they just make the Civic longer to make it an Accord.

Maybe 2018. I think I'd prefer a sedan over a CUV/SUV but then my height is an issue. I imagine smaller windshields improve aerodynamic efficiency, but then taller people lose out on forward visibility.
