I am not a Programmer. I put up simple websites, and like technology, and enjoy this field. That said, I probally shouldn't comment, but from day one of my computing journey; My biggest gripe with this field has been terrible technical writing. (I put up with it because it was all so new, and figured it will eventually get better.)
I can still remember picking up those 500 page computing books. Flipping through the phone book and putting it back on the shelf.
As to the overuse of acronyms; I think they are overused in this profession. It almost seems fashionable?
Jump to today, things have gotten better. I'm not sure the writing has gotten better, or I just have more presenters of the information(Internet)?
I don't know why you got down voted? The level of technical writing in this field is atrocious? I understand "these are tough concepts!". Yes, in many ways it's like learning a language! I get it. In most cases I'm glad someone took the time to write something down. Yes--I'm grateful.
I do have a problem with entities, with a lot of money/resources, whom publish terrible technical writting. It does seem like a big company, like Amazon, could have done a little better job conveying this product?
