It’s easy to assume that our users are experts when writing documentation. But technical writing without diagrams, code examples, videos, screenshots and more can ostracise a large chunk of users who are simply searching for help when using your product.

From monolith to multi-app join us as we explore more in this Symfony demo: Once upon a time, great people created a great Symfony demo, to be used as a living code example and help us all learn: Bigfoot.

Too often, we are told to highlight our weaknesses as a means for growth. From job interviews, to performance reviews, to our own self-reflection, we shine the light on what we do poorly.

Join Mary Thomas to learn why identifying and leaning into our strengths becomes our weakness Superpower.
