    I kinda became infamous for my in-depth documentation.
    It only helped that I had technical documentation lessons prior to my job and (kinda) knew how to write for a specific target audience (e.g. amateur, pro, expert)

        Incredibly dry.

        Remember those are the reasons why your manuals read like they do :p

        But besides that: Very useful.

          Okay, but you have to consider the audience here. :P

          Maybe certain people would consider it dry, but a professional and systematic understanding the motivations of the human condition and how to communicate with various kinds of people is the bread and butter for folks who don’t (necessarily) intuitively understand it, and are thus forced to make an amateur effort to understand the motivations and communication styles of people.
