Developer Experience and DevRel

Most engineering documentation fails for the same reasons. Here is what actually moves the needle.

I analyze the structural correlation between documentation quality and engineering throughput, using DORA metrics and Accelerate research to quantify the ROI of technical writing.

I think Stripe’s technical blog compounds into a moat because it teaches, documents, and shapes developer trust long before a sales conversation starts.

DevTools startups lose deals long before sales hears the objection. I explain how weak docs break evaluation, trials, and rollout confidence.

I explain which engineering habits still make me better at technical writing, which ones I had to drop, and how the day-to-day work changed.

AI product docs now need prompts, schemas, evals, and version boundaries. I explain the rules I would use to judge a technical writer for an AI company.
