I rarely see people mention it but documentation writer/tech writer is a full time role at bigger companies, especially SaaS companies with large/complex APIs.

Writing API docs, user guides, blog posts, how-to guides, etc...

Pay is usually less than dev but still high.

I don’t get why people don’t bring up documentation more often either. Having good documentation is a telltale sign that the software you write is high quality. Sometimes you even learn if a feature is stupid based on how you can describe it.

It’s sad to see how many great open-source projects get overlooked on GitHub because they’re poorly documented.
