Get Better At Technical Writing: The Beauty of Consistency

Thanks to your article I now understand why my coworkers were telling me that my documentation felt like me trying to "seduce" them.

When writing tutorial guides, use “You,” or “We” if you want the reader to feel held and guided. Technical documentations, manuals and some technical articles must be written without these pronouns.

Being used to write personal articles and stories for my blog, I always used the "you" pronoun in my technical documentation to "hold" my readers.

I now know that I should change this habit as it's not the right "place" as the audience is totally not the same, thank you!
