Engineers should focus on writing
Something that I’ve noticed at my company and other companies friends work at is an increasing number of software engineers who do not write code at all. They just write documents, comment on documents, go to meetings, and ask questions in emails. Lots of these types where I work and where my friends work (very well known companies). I do not think this is healthy for a company to have its mid and senior devs writing no code in the numbers I’m seeing.
