1) What is technical writing?
Technical writing is the art of creating various types of content that aim to communicate complex technical information to a specific audience in an easy to understand manner. E.g.,
- The docs/manual you read when you try to learn a new technology.
- The article you read online when you Google “how to do something” and land on a tutorial that guides you step-by-step on how to accomplish that task.
These are end products of technical writing written by technical writers to help you understand a tech or achieve a task.
A design marketplace for creatives that makes it easy for designers to sell their work, compete in design contests launched by clients, and work together with clients to create designs they love.
A thread on how to find thousands of startups to apply to on LinkedIn & Twitter with just one keyword search.✨🚀
As well as how to find them all in one place. This is a follow-up to my previous threads on landing internships and full-time roles in tech.
RT for others.🧵
In the previous threads the focus was entirely on how to find thousands of startups using the Y Combinator (YC) approach.
However, there is an alternative startup accelerator program that also invests funds into early-stage startups + resources & mentorship to its founders.
Techstars, just like Y Combinator is known to have supported over 3,392 startups to date.
This gives you a portfolio of growing startups that you can apply to as they are still expanding and often open to hiring interns, juniors and full-time roles.
