| 0:00.0 | Hey guys, getting close to Thanksgiving in the States. For today, I'm sharing another fantastic |
| 0:06.8 | episode of the Compiler podcast from Red Hat. As a reminder, Compiler is a show hosted by |
| 0:12.3 | tech veterans discussing tech topics, big, strange, and small. On this particular episode, |
| 0:18.6 | which is episode 8, the topic of technical documentation is discussed. |

| 1:07.3 | how things should work. |
| 1:09.3 | This episode was a great discussion on the topic, and I hope you enjoy episode 8 of the |
| 1:13.6 | Compiler Podcast. |
| 1:16.4 | All right, before we get started here, Compiler needs your help. |
| 1:21.4 | Brett and I would love to hear what topics you think we should cover in future episodes. |
