Let’s hope that a tiny portion of the $200M goes towards documentation. If they spent $5k on professional writers they could get something useful. For $50k something great. And for $500k they could have an entire suite of highly produced explainer videos with great post production.

$5k won’t even get you native English language writers, $50k might get you one. One decent writer…for 6 months. Y’all really don’t know the value of skilled non software engineer professionals do you?

Why not just throw AI at it? Seems to be the best use case. So get a startup to fix this startup…so on and so forth…

My mom was a writer all her life. The last 5 years she's done more and more editing. After LLMs kicked off, and I mean to the month of them starting to hit headlines her work plummeted, then spiked with tons of garbage, and is now levelling off with her usual workflow.

For me, that was a strong signal that everyone gave it a go, found it too difficult to generate quality stuff, and reverted.

Good luck to you regardless.

You are on the money. I just went back to technical writing after decades in software development for, well, some very very well-known companies.

Good luck to you. I ended up at a company that makes non-software products but really wants (and needs) to modernize their doc-production pipeline.
