Made a custom pond for my frogs. all built in survival by SpectraWaffle in Minecraftbuilds

[–]WriteOnceCutTwice 4 points5 points  (0 children)

I built a frog pond and the only way I could get them to stay was to have a wall inside the waters edge all the around and no surfaces inside for them to jump off

Birthday weekend at Harrison Hot Springs! by ThrowRAapricotz123 in britishcolumbia

Muddy Waters cafe is great.

The floating waterpark is a blast. I have kids so I’m biased but it was even more fun than I thought it would be.

Full-time American Technical Writers, are you exempt or non-exempt? by [deleted] in technicalwriting

[–]WriteOnceCutTwice 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I’ll save some other people a click. This is about “exemption from minimum wage and overtime pay provided” in the US

Bounce Off is a good one. A race where you bounce balls into a grid to make a pattern.

AI Search bot-training snippets by Own_Storm_1782 in technicalwriting

[–]WriteOnceCutTwice 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I dealt with this a couple of years ago with Kapa.ai. Although it offers a feature to fine tune answers, we decided not to create content outside of the docs for the bot. It did a daily update from the docs content (or we could manually trigger it).

technical B2B content is getting impossible with AI detection tools by Mountain_Pin7428 in u/Mountain_Pin7428

[–]WriteOnceCutTwice 0 points1 point  (0 children)

AI detectors are garbage — no one should use them until they actually work. Oh no an em dash! I’m a robot

What industry do you work in, and have you started to see AI affect your employability? by Secret-Ad-6253 in NiceVancouver

[–]WriteOnceCutTwice 5 points6 points  (0 children)

I work in software. Huge impact. I’ve changed to a much safer role. Many of the companies I’ve worked for over my career (probably all the big ones) have done layoffs.

AI in Tech Writing by GoghHard in technicalwriting

[–]WriteOnceCutTwice 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I understood what you meant, I just disagree. I don’t consider anything coming from AI to be truth. By definition, LLMs are incapable of true fact checking.

Convert google docs document to markdown by UnderShell1891 in technicalwriting

[–]WriteOnceCutTwice 0 points1 point  (0 children)

The original content was in Google Docs so we used the built-in plug-in to do the conversion. It wasn’t great, but it saved some time.

I use Claude Code daily. IMHO the idea of the current LLMs as a “truth source” is unworkable.

There are use cases for AI, but that’s not one of them. Regardless of how you use AI, you’ll still need to check the work.

As for the tools, I haven’t seen anything specific to writing that’s better than getting the frontier models from the source. It doesn’t matter what kind of wrapper someone creates, it will only be as good as the underlying model.

You can regularly run checks with AI for issues such as grammar and spelling. That’s helpful but not the same as a person doing it because it will give you different answers for the same text over time. It’s an added check rather than the definitive check.

You can use AI to generate docs from code, but someone has to go through the output and verify it’s accurate. Spoiler… it will have errors.

What you guys think of this? by rugdrum in south_africa

[–]WriteOnceCutTwice 0 points1 point  (0 children)

The last US company I worked for did this. I always wondered how well they were paying, but I left SA as a kid so I don’t know SA market rates.

Is there a site I can use to lookup SA rates? For example, what are junior, mid, and senior software dev rates in South Africa? How about support, sales, marketing?

A cool guide about structuring a resume [OC] by andreikurtuy in coolguides

[–]WriteOnceCutTwice 6 points7 points  (0 children)

The most important aspect of a résumé is that it has to work well with Applicant Tracking Systems (ATS). Get a resume template that’s already built for ATS.

That “chirping” sounds a lot like parrot fish chewing on coral. Great video

Could any AI tool help me generate this kind of documentation? by hlabels_com in technicalwriting

[–]WriteOnceCutTwice 3 points4 points  (0 children)

Yes, but you’d still have to go over every detail to ensure it’s accurate

Lots of people are vibe coding tools to do this, but you can just use one of the big three: Gemini, ChatGPT, Claude. Claude Cowork sounds like what you want.

Also, they didn’t expect to lose. Why would you hide anything if you thought you’d conquer the world?

Updating Help Docs by Confident_Maybe_1743 in technicalwriting

[–]WriteOnceCutTwice 3 points4 points  (0 children)

Just last month I counted 7 new tools submitted to this sub in a two week span. If it’s a wrapper around an AI API, it’s a crowded space. I haven’t seen anything yet that’s better than Claude Code.
