It's one of the best uses of your time. No one is going to notice your papercut bugfixes. There's a good chance that the bug-fix itself will be deleted in a few months with the rest of the code.

However, a written artifact of your technical thinking and contributions with your name on it will outlast probably even the company.

These things matter. Unfortunately there's so much garbage self-promotion nowadays through Linkedin and other platforms that the pendulum has swung in the other direction for people with actual skills and expertise.

In addition to the self promotion benefits, writing about something in plain terms is the best way I know of to shine a light on areas I don’t fully understand. It’s a useful tool to have if you’re serious about self-improvement.

How long something lasts is not the measure of its value.

A rock lasts million of years.

I bet you felt very clever saying that. Now could you please engage with the actual intent of my comment?
