In this post, I share 8 principles I believe in:

1. Less is more
2. Start with the solution or the ask
3. Show the facts, with examples
4. Always quantify
5. Include links and references
6. Explain why it matters
7. Ask feedback from one person
8. Sleep on it

As engineers and developers, we often focus heavily on technical skills while neglecting the importance of clear, compelling writing. But the reality is, our ability to communicate effectively can have a major impact on our careers.
