Really? I see people in my job doing far less writing than they ought to. Little to no documentation, little to no design docs, and where stuff is written, the document fails to explain the why/how of its design, includes grave errors about how preexisting system work, etc.

None of that seems to hold them back: they plow into code head first … and … stuff comes out the other end.

Even Slack messages from many of my co-workers are broken fragments of terrible grammar. The syntax is corrupt … let alone the semantics of whatever the hell they're trying to convey.

And I see no correlation between these people, and failure in the corporate world.
