Writing a 'book' early in your career definitely sounds like it could open doors but that's a clear edge case. I'm talking about internal documentation. I don't think it's reasonable to put the entire onus of communication on the writer and I've never seen a company value engineers who put large amounts of time into perfecting documentation.

It's completely alien to me that people here seem to believe engineers should be spending time making requirements and architecture documents more engaging. You're paid to read the thing, just read it.
