Simplify, don't dumb down

Readable technical content isn't less technical — it's better structured. Use shorter sentences, more headings, and clear examples.

Release notes are read by diverse audiences. Keep them at grade 8–10 so both technical and non-technical users understand what changed.

What readability level should technical documentation target?
Developer documentation can be grade 10–12, but user-facing help docs should be grade 6–8. The key is matching the audience's expected reading level.
Is readable code documentation less technical?
No — readable documentation is better structured documentation. Short sentences, clear examples, and good formatting make technical content more accessible without reducing depth.
