Undervalued Engineering Skills: Writing Well
This resonates with me. My writing is clear and concise, I&#x27;m proud of it, and it pays off because I can communicate effectively.<p>I&#x27;m not sure I agree with the &quot;undervalued&quot;, in so far that I see a _lot_ of people who are not able to write clearly, and they get ahead and along just fine. Many executives who I worked with wrote terrible emails (sometimes they leave out the negation, so I&#x27;m guessing whether they mean X or not-X), and they&#x27;re super successful, in so far as their companies are successful &#x2F; they are in high positions.<p>Sometimes the Amazon protocol comes up (before a meeting, the organizer submits the topic in writing, everybody has to read it before), and I always cringe - in my experience most people just can&#x27;t write a clear 2 page document [or can&#x27;t be bothered]. I would love it tough.
