I just took up a position involving coding and technical writing and it's been great! I've been keeping my own tech and life blog for years and have been getting more into writing, but have been hesitant to apply for technical writer positions because I didn't want to fully give up code either. I wanted both.

So far it's been a really great balance of coding and writing, and it's been really nice to switch between modes. I'm still feeling quite stressed and time-pressured as my first two projects involved creating quite large demos in a language I hadn't used in a while (and then writing about them!), but I think I'll find a nice mental load balance there with more practice.
