Just when we Started to Solve Software Docs, AI Blew Everything Up // MLOps Podcast #235 with Dave Nunez, Partner of Abstract Group co-hosted by Jakub Czakon.
Huge thank you to Zilliz for sponsoring this episode. Zilliz - https://zilliz.com/.
// Abstract
Over the previous decade, the recipe for making excellent software docs mostly converged on a set of core goals:
Create high-quality, consistent content
Use different content types depending on the task
Make the docs easy to find
For AI-focused software and products, the entire developer education playbook needs to be rewritten.
// Bio
Dave lives in Santa Barbara, CA with his wife and four kids.
He started his tech career at various startups in Santa Barbara before moving to San Francisco to work at Salesforce. After Salesforce, he spent 2+ years at Uber and 5+ years at Stripe leading internal and external developer documentation efforts.
In 2021, he co-authored Docs for Developers to help engineers become better writers. He's now a consultant, advisor, and angel investor for fast-growing startups. He typically invests in early-stage startups focusing on developer tools, productivity, and AI.
He's a reading nerd, Lakers fan, and golf masochist.
