I find it's better with sugar.

Right. It's Jenny Needs A New Side Gig time. Previous one ended cos they drank the AI Kool-Aid, thus documenting software as a profession has fallen to slop.
So what can I do? Chances of finding another website to write for are slim, any likely candidates would tread on Hackaday's toes.
Annoyingly I have lots of skills such as electronics stuff that don't show on my CV, because of my odd career.
It's all very difficult.
