I've ended up on the opposite side of the spectrum - back when I was working as a developer in an office, I used to write something at least once a day and that kept my handwriting in check. However, ever since I started working from home,

Agreed. Having PageRank in your product is one thing, but using it well and scaling it up (like Google has done) is a way different (and probably much more difficult) matter.
