1 rich Libsyn https://www.libsyn.com 90 600 In an age of vibe coding and LLMs, do we really need to care about documentation? Do we need to spend time and energy producing it — time when we could just be shipping code? Of course we do; particularly&amp;nbsp;if we want to communicate and share software with other humans.&amp;nbsp; To discuss documentation in 2025, Technology Podcast host Lilly Ryan is joined by Heidi Waterhouse, a very special guest with an esteemed and varied career in technical communcation.&amp;nbsp; In this episode, Lilly and Heidi tackle the challenges of documentation in a world increasingly infused with AI-generated code and text, explore whether prompt engineering is really just technical writing in disguise and examine the difficulties of writing for highly specific audiences.&amp;nbsp; They also cover Heidi's Progressive Delivery, an upcoming book about&amp;nbsp;bridging the gap between software delivery and business value. It's&amp;nbsp;due to be released in the latter part of 2025 and written alongside James Governor, Kim Harrison and Adam Zimman.
