Things have been a bit rough pandemic-wise in the studio. Here's an interview we actually recorded mid-2021 with Jon Varese. Jon is the Senior Director, Documentation, Salesforce.org at Salesforce. He used to be Mark's old boss. We talk about the importance of documentation and more importantly the importance of Compassionate Documentation. It was a fun interview. I hope you enjoy listening as much as we had recording it. Until next time!
