Sometimes, we dread job postings that require writing documentation according to GOST standards. But is that fear really justified?
In this talk, I’ll share my perspective as a technical writer who’s been through that phase of my career. We’ll explore which skills gained from working with GOST are actually valuable in any documentation role—and how you can move beyond static, shelfware documents toward creating living, evolving documentation as part of a development team.
You’ll learn that Docs-as-Code isn’t about “programming for the elite.” It’s about simple, accessible tools such as Markdown or AsciiDoc, Git, and CI/CD — that you can easily start using. I’ll show that the entry barrier for Docs-as-Code is surprisingly low, and I’ll walk you through clear, straightforward diagrams to explain exactly how the approach works in practice.Spoiler: it’s easier than you think—and closer than it seems.
