A: Do not skip any opportunity to learn or collaborate. Personal growth and development is up to you. No one will watch out for your growth and advocate for you other than yourself. So do all it takes to be at the top of your game and in tune with emerging trends so you’re not left out. Web3 is ever-evolving, take that course, speak at events, and share your work as often as possible, no one will do that for you. This mindset is what has kept me going in my career. I do not pass an opportunity to learn or collaborate, I have learnt how to manage a product, do user research, lead a team, manage stakeholders, edit and record videos, speak at events, create go-to-market strategies and lots more, this makes me a well rounded technical writer who is not just a writer but can also contribute meaningfully to product development and wear any hat as the need arises. Q: What trends or innovations in technical writing and Web3 excite you the most, and why? A: I’m rooting for products and decentralised applications that incorporate UX methodologies from the get-go, dApps that can abstract all the complexities of web3 without the user needing to interact directly with the base technology. I think that’s the real game-changer.
