Rethinking the tech writing portfolio in the AI age
A friend asked me the other day to help them overhaul their portfolio. I’m wary of traditional career advice like “Yeah, of course you need samples”, because it feels cliché and useless. So I sat down and thought about what I would put in a portfolio today. I already know that I would take a scrappy blog over a dead-inside collection of impeccable writing samples any time, but that’s not enough for a piece of advice. So let me tell you a bit more about how I think a portfolio should be composed.
