hiring is probably the main thing. giving some kind of documentation exercise to all prospective devs seems to alleviate concerns about communication

Agree that hiring is sure important, but I think as long as hiring is competitive, and most candidates are bad at writing, then compromises are almost inevitable?

If FAANGs started putting more weight on technical-writing skills in their hiring, we would get Leetwriting and technical-writing bootcamps. Meaning, it’s just an education issue to some extent, and there’s currently too little motivation to train writing as a skill.
