I’m all for culture of writing, but that feels too easy.

Like another pointed out, what about a culture of reading? And further, what are these cultures of writing doing to help individuals improve their writing? Understanding audience, valuing brevity, tone, structure, knowing when not to write, etc are all important skills that the vast majority of people in business (probably including me) lack.

Further, writing takes time. How do you evaluate what writing is worth it, that the time you take away from e.g. coding still adds business value? It certainly may, but that feels very hard to quantify.
