I feel that the well-written prose is falling out of fashion. With the informational overload, people no longer enjoy writing and reading paragraphs of text. Even on YouTube, increasing the playback speed is probably the most used feature today. Sometimes, I feel this trend is becoming generational. Who knows, maybe a few decades from now, anyone who copiously writes and reads a couple of books every week would be considered a genius. Maybe I'm just getting old and grumpy, but it feels to me that these days, beginner programmers tend to focus on learning programming languages, and only later (sometimes) they realize - to be a successful software developer, one has to focus on learning a human language - English et al. I think we (techy people) could reverse this trend by creating a culture of writing. It becomes even more important with the remote working style and distributed teams. It should become a norm - for when to ship three lines of code, there would be a page or two, explaining the change in English. Then who knows, maybe a few decades from now, anyone who copiously writes and reads a couple of books every week would be considered "a smart person working in tech".
