Totally agree on this point. In most companies, this work is not glorified and ends up being done on "stolen time" from the employee, or not done at all. It's a sad state of the industry.

I'd say this is where the more engineering-focused companies tend to excel a bit more since they are more likely to schedule the time and reward folks for doing it.

If you're evaluating companies for fit, its a good idea to ask questions around how this work gets done (asking for specific examples) to see if you glean if it's valued or not.
