Sarah explains how she “orchestrates rather than writes” the documentation. She reviews the documentation in GitHub so that all of her reviews are tracked and can be fed back.
Some suggestions that she had for technical writers:
Learning how to a steer a module through skills, plugins, or customization layers.
Build your own style guide and then try to get the model to follow that guide.
Start tinkering.
I get surprised sometimes when I hear that a company that I follow for various reason has tech writers. And then, it would make total sense to me that as a technology company, they would have tech writers – if not in India then in some other part of the world.
It’s been 20 years since I registered on WordPress.com.

I decided to change the way that I write Weekly Notes into these daily paragraphs inspired by reading this. I wrote the Weekly Notes 23/2026 in this format. Let’s see how long I can keep up. Friends came over to see our home.

Kids were both unwell. We asked the friends who had come over on the day before if they were OK. It helped us to narrow down what could have caused the issue. I Googled 6 7 and learnt about a neat little trick that Google does. I found out Shubha Mudgal has a Substack.

My wife celebrated her birthday. We had a small cake cutting ceremony in the evening. We had an intimate event.

I learnt that Malayalam actor Salim Kumar had passed away. Read this article on his life on X among other tributes. I also read a blog post about the evolution of Marathi. Nidheesh M K wrote about how a video posted on YouTube ripped one year of his hardwork. I also read about face fatigue written by Shephali Bhatt.
The US Government blocked access to Fable 5 citing national security. Companies and people that were planning their businesses around the access to AI are worried. There still seem to be hackathons in India that support Claude and OpenAI. I don’t understand this. Isn’t it better to contribute to open source foundational models rather than closed foundational models?
SpaceX IPO went live. Elon Musk became a trillionaire and Gwynne Shotwell became a billionaire.
Many people have pointed to the writing of Shankar Sharma. This video summarizes many of his writings about stock market in India.
He makes some very interesting arguments – innovation falls as the country gets rich off the stock markets, Indian retail investors are giving exits to foreign equity investors (and so, the money is not getting re-invested in India), retail investors must not be so active in the stock market, and foreign investor exits must not be as easy as it is presently.
