Writing for Learners — From README to Body of Work

Two transformations in one module. The artifact-level one: write technical content that teaches rather than just informs — README, release notes, docs, posts. The practice-level one: a publication cadence, a voice readers recognize, and a platform you own. Your blog is your most important production system: durable storage, stable URLs, version control (you're keeping posts in git, right?), organic discovery via search. The post is the row; the cadence is the cron job; the owned domain is the origin server, and hosted platforms are CDNs — useful for distribution, dangerous as the only origin. RFCs and PR descriptions are private deployments of the same skill; the reps transfer in both directions. And Diátaxis is your documentation system's service boundaries: a tutorial, a how-to, an explanation, and a reference are four different services with four different SLOs, and the page that tries to be all four pages at once is the distributed monolith of writing.
