About the Author
Chris Chinchilla spent years as a developer before switching to helping people understand code better instead of writing it. He has worked crafting documentation for many developer-focused projects, from small open-source projects to large and well-known tools and products, tackling everything from tooling to videos. He is known for bringing developers and writers closer with editor and automation-based tools. Outside of tech writing, he publishes fiction, YouTube videos, podcasts, and music. In short, he loves to communicate and find the best medium for the message.
