As a developer, you have to write a lot: commit messages, code reviews, architecture documents, pull request descriptions, and more. When you write, you have the opportunity to educate and inspire your teammates – the readers – or confuse them. Like refactoring, it's a skill that can take you further as a developer, but is often ignored.

In this session, we'll use advice from novelists, book editors, and technical writers to turn an unhelpful pull request letter into a great one. Along the way, you'll learn practical tips to make your code, ideas, and work more understandable to others.
