It doesn't. A writer is a person that translates an abstract concept into a human-readable form. A programmer is a person that translates an abstract concept into a machine-readable form. Aside from typing, the skill sets are largely unrelated; so being good at one will not make you good at the other.

Is it easy to get job as a computer programmer?

it depends if you are in it to make money or as a hobby. if you are in it to make money, then you need to be at a 3+ years of ACTUAL experience programming (either in college or as a trainee and self paced ) to get hired. nobody will hire you if you don't have any programs that you made, what if you cannot make a program to work? so, it is hard to make 1 dollar as a fresh programmer. trust me, i am a programmer. today's program will be obsolete in 6 month. what are you going to learn anyway? it takes 3 to 4 years to get your computer science degree and by the time you graduate you are already behind in computer programming. going technical school is the same. are you going to make Microsoft applications? or websites? or mac apps, or iPhone (dream on, it takes years to make a dollar from an iPhone app if you start learning today). if websites, are you going to make JSP? php, HTML, aspx, perl....after you decide what you are going to program in you will need to decide what database system to use. using excel (not even an RDBMS-relational database management system) or Microsoft access will be a joke compared to other people in the market. today you need at least (in 2009) to program in SQL server, Oracle or similar. it takes years to become an acceptable SQL query writer (stored procedures, etc) to a level where you meet the criteria of a money making programmer. oh and i almost forgot, it takes you 2 years to become a programmer but unless you are programming using a technique called "object oriented", then good luck finding an employer. Object oriented programming is what is taught to computer science people in their 3 to 4 years in college/university, then they need 2 to 3 years to learn a programming language appropriately with practical experience and then they will find a medium entry level job... until the recessions happened. now you are competing with people who have years of experience and know 10 times more programming techniques, languages, workarounds, shortcuts, methods, properties, classes, ... than you, who are waiting in line to work at entry level salary. so it is hard to become a professional (=money earning) programmer. but as a hobby, if you don't bet your future on it, then it is as hard as you decide it to be. go for it.

How does dignity relate to technical writing?

Technical writing can read like its writer knows more than the reader. This denies the reader the dignity the reader has earned. To avoid this, a technical writer can write as though the writer sits at the reader's elbow offering kind guidance. The writer can write in the third-person, in the present tense and in an active voice. This can help the reader preserve his or her dignity.
