As a Software Developer, I continuously need to develop my coding, design, problem-solving, and communication skills. The technology industry is fast-paced and changes frequently, so I need to adapt to change very quickly. I work in teams, where I am required to communicate with my colleagues and share my solutions. Technical writing helps me to keep up with the demanding learning curve of a Software Developer. Below are the reasons that motivated me to start writing:
