hacym··on How to get started on building a personal brand as a Technical Writer?
May I suggest trying a much smaller project? Wordpress probably has a well established documentation team and standard. You won’t be making a name for yourself there unless you do something really amazing.

There are many small open source projects that could use a technical writer’s help.

Great story, this got me in the feels. A wonderful message.
hacym··on Show HN: Hacker News Without News
I don’t mean to be rude but if you don’t see the value, just don’t use it? You’re perfectly fine not reading stories on HN that you don’t care about, so just add this site to that list and move on. Not everything has to solve YOUR problem.

He was on Twitter in 2018.

People just started listening to him for some reason.

hacym··on How to Survive FOSDEM
I can’t tell if this is sarcasm. The article says not to waste time getting food at the event, and to just bring something with you. Seems like decent advice.
hacym··on AMD Claims New Laptop Chip Is 30% Faster Than M1 Pro, Up to 30 Hours on Battery
They are breaking the laws of thermodynamics. Truly revolutionary.
hacym··on MacBook owners have two months to claim up to $395 over butterfly keyboard woes
Many times frontline employees are purposely made powerless to assist with an issue where it’s very simple for a manager to fix something.

Even when frontline employees say “my manager will say the same thing” I’ve found that they often won’t and will easily resolve the issue.

Companies that do this simply don’t want to resolve your problem.

hacym··on “My PGP key is compromised, and at least many of my bitcoins stolen”
No wonder it’s used for that based on the people that are the biggest advocates.
hacym··on LastPass password vaults crackable for $100, alleges 1Password
I assume it’s probably a trade off the consciously made for, in their opinion, a better end user experience experience.
hacym··on LastPass password vaults crackable for $100, alleges 1Password
Strange that the article doesn’t specify the $100 for what… I assume computing power.

Headline reads as someone is offering as a service. Anyone else read it like that?

hacym··on Real ID was a real mistake and Congress should scrap it at last
Certain OTC and prescription drugs definitely require an ID. Think coffee syrups and potent pain meds.

I think your conspiracy theories are misplaced.
hacym··on Tesla stock marks lowest close in years as investors worry about Musk’s focus
How are they lying? Lol

For the record, I don’t tell Fords. If you’re referring to the inability to get one… yeah, it’s extremely popular.

Ford has already released an F150 EV that starts under $40k.

You’re literally describing an assumption. You didn’t know of an exact example, so you believed something that isn’t necessarily true.
hacym··on Massive Southwest Airlines disruption leaves customers stranded
Good luck.
hacym··on Massive Southwest Airlines disruption leaves customers stranded
Sounds like you assume Germany will be better for employee protections in all ways compared to America.
hacym··on Employee laid off by Meta says he got a package from the company marked 'leaver'
They were fired. They didn’t “leave”.

Why not write their name? It’s not that hard.

hacym··on Employee laid off by Meta says he got a package from the company marked 'leaver'
Are you supposed to take what personally? I think most, if not all, would consider being labeled a “leaver” after they were, without warning and after getting good reviews, an insult.

Whether or not it’s an HR term doesn’t really matter —- it’s insensitive to write on a box sent to someone in this circumstance.

hacym··on Employee laid off by Meta says he got a package from the company marked 'leaver'
At least a little tone deaf for them to label it “leaver”
hacym··on Ask HN: Help – Locked out of 10 years Gmail account
Does Apple have a history of doing that? This is the first time I’ve heard of that.

Strange, I could have sworn that 99% of the things posted here are news and commentary on news.

Hacker News…
hacym··on Incident affecting Google Ad Manager
Does GCP not make Google money?
hacym··on PHP 8.2
Does Wordpress require the latest version of PHP? Is there not an LTS?
hacym··on I don’t want to be an internet person
So you’re comparing someone who has encouraged young women to kill themselves to someone who users eMacs? I think you need to reevaluate your life.
hacym··on I don’t want to be an internet person
Being online and making it your entire personality and reality are two very different things.
hacym··on I don’t want to be an internet person
How is an opinion piece a shallow hit job? If you’re reading this as some credible news… stop?
hacym··on I don’t want to be an internet person
You’re weirdly trying to attack the author. Why is that?
