Response to: Lack of "machine" and also more underlying science

Technical writing was a required course at my institution. After being in the working world and having some exposure to software specs or the lack there-of, I'm starting to understand why. I remember problems being much more clearly defined in school and the emphasis being more on solving as opposed to defining. It can be more challenging to identify or define a problem as opposed to actually solving it! Perhaps that's why it is overlooked so often by business partners or users.


Learning how to ask the right questions in the right manner comes in handy. For someone who is particularly bright or has never really been challenged, this can be a humbling experience :).
