Author here. Happy to take any feedback about this post.
I learned to write design docs at Microsoft and Google, and I thought they both had good culture around docs that hasn't percolated out as well as other engineering practices at those orgs. I haven't seen a thorough explanation of how to write design docs, so this is my attempt to externalize what I've learned about writing them.
