[Where to go from here]

```

1. Start with the reader - What problem do they have?
2. Show, don't tell - Use code examples
3. One idea per section - Keep it focused
4. Use concrete examples - Abstract concepts need grounding
5. Include working code - Test everything
6. End with action - Tell readers what to do next
7. Get feedback - Have someone else read it
8. Revise ruthlessly - First drafts are just the start
