This is the first interview in Technical Writing Chats, a series where I speak with technical writers about their day-to-day role and how they got started in their career. Today's interview is with Ally Sassman, a Senior Technical Writer at New Relic. I sincerely hope you enjoy!
This is the first post in James' series.
I'm hoping to pick up a couple tips throughout the series to improve the writing that I do on my blog.

I should be working but all I can think about is formatting the time stamps for my blog theme to make sure they are parsed properly
I just sent several blog posts to my test blog the last couple of days. 🤦🏾♂️
We should probably call it the micro.blog photo adventure.

I really enjoy the comedies with John Cena. They’re generally fun and light. I get to spend some time just sitting back and relaxing.
I’m not looking for depth; those movies are also available if I want them.
If you’ve seen this movie, then you’ve seen it a dozen times. There are a couple twist and turns but we all know what’s going to happen from the trailers and the first 10 minutes of the film.
I have no problems with that!
Here’s the trailer that pretty much sums it up.
This got me thinking: how are curly braces used in English today? Many English keyboards, such as the Macbook Air keyboard on which I am typing this blog post, have curly braces as a character you can type with the shift key pressed. If curly braces are on our keyboards, they would have to either have some use in language, or sufficient use as a punctuation in computational contexts?
I can't recall ever seeing these outside of the context of programming.
