RE: How technical are they at Oracle

["Grant, Christopher" <CGrant -at- glhec -dot- org>]

Alternatively, it could be that the environment at Oracle _demands_ a very
high level of technical comprehension.  Oracle's database formats, AFAIK,
are all proprietary, so perhaps they're just incredibly complex.  

I think the transition from technical writer > QA > development is a natural
one for _technical_ technical writers.  In fact, I know of one employee at
my current workplace who took exactly this path.
