This is why Technical Writer is a full time job.
It's also why the humanities are important. Stemlords who brag about not doing literature classes write terrible documentation.
My CS major required me to take two upper division English classes and I think they helped me more in my career than my upper division CS classes. People forget that documentation is for ourselves too
Maybe, just maybe, people have different strengths and weaknesses and cooperating around our differences is what makes us succeed.
If you know your weakness is writing documentation, please hire a technical writer.
That's exactly what I'm saying, sorry if it came across somehow askew.
My point was there is no point in competing over whose job is "better", we should be working together.
