Humanizing Your Documentation
summary
Advocates switching from reference-first docs to use-case driven documentation that ties features to user goals and lets docs be written alongside code. Recommends concrete tooling: run the alex linter and write‑good to flag insensitive and vague words, use Hemingway to target keep readability ≤ grade 8, avoid code screenshots by using <pre>/<code> or markdown fences, prefer meaningful variable names, document common errors with explicit causes and fixes, and ban words like “simply” after finding 92 million references on GitHub.
