Today’s episode dives into an article from senior technical writer Curt Robbins entitled "Hard Times are Good. Here's Why." that was published on February 2 (link below).
Hosts Daphne and Fred share their spirited analysis of this informative article from Robbins that focuses on how technical writers and documentation specialists can advance their careers, even during hard times.
They emphasize Robbins' belief that tech writers can leverage lost job opportunities, layoffs, and project delays to embolden themselves and be inspired to do better. Sometimes this methodology involves upskilling and adjustment to a rapidly shifting marketplace and leading edge technology (such as AI).
Daphne and Fred note how Robbins uses his grandparents as an example of people who lived through hard times but turned the experience into future success. They explain how his grandparents lived through the Great Depression and World War II and gained the adaptive skills of patience, perseverance, and what can be described as "true grit."
