- Successful senior engineers must focus on many areas besides coding including writing which clarifies thinking, promotes exploration of ideas, and ensures effective project execution.
- Many developers struggle with writing due to their non-native language, writing techniques learned at school, etc.
- Emails, memos, announcements, design documentation, code review feedback, code comments, documentation, and bug reports, provide ample opportunities to practice writing skills.
- Poorly written communications can lead to confusion, delays and negatively impact team productivity.
- Writing good bug reports dramatically increases the chance of getting issues fixed.
- Writing is a 'Universal Skill' and can be polished through practice and consistent effort.
