Code, for example, could be considered a dividing wall over which either side rarely traverses. One door through which both sides could enter is the ansible language of YAML. Since YAML, which stands for YAML ain\u2019t markup language, was introduced in 2001 it has become one of the tools front end engineers use to store information and help build data driven user interfaces. As academics seeking to engage technically inclined tech comm students and engineers curious about code efficiency, YAML is a way to communicate information architecture and further solidify the relationship between the software engineering and technical communication disciplines. As professionals, YAML is a tool that allows engineers and technical communicators an opportunity to gain a higher shared understanding of the role each plays in software development.
