Classical Technical Writing vs Docs-as-Code

DOCful is a developer-centric documentation concept introduced by Florence Venisse in 2019, inspired by RESTful principles. It enhances REST API documentation by combining structured reference material with intuitive, user-friendly guidance — all aligned with the docs-as-code approach.
With over 20 years of experience, I bring a full-stack approach to technical writing — from APIs and SDKs to front-end user interfaces. I combine developer insight with user empathy to deliver clear, useful documentation.
While CCMSs borrow a few tricks from the docs-as-code toolkit — like modularity and automation — they’re firmly rooted in classical technical writing. CCMS tools are built for authors, not developers, and it makes a big difference.
