Documentation as Code: A chat with Alasdair Allan from Raspberry Pi

Welcome back to another special edition of the Electromaker Podcast! I recently had a thoroughly interesting chat with Alasdair Allan, Head of Documentation at Raspberry Pi. Alasdair and his team are behind the 'Documentation as Code' philosophical approach to creating and maintaining the RP2040 documentation, and how it can be applied retroactively to already existing Raspberry Pi documentation.

We cover plenty of interesting Pi-related stuff, but also head off into a few tangents about the state of documentation in the hardware industry as a whole, firing WiFi meshed dev boards out of cannons, and how narrative is always important - even in hardware documentation.
