I don't mean this negatively, but in my experience as a high schooler and in college, the programming crowd tended to be lacking in written (communication) skills. This is certainly a huge blanket statement, but for younger programmers today I think the stereotype has at least some truth.

There are some people whose code I'd be terrified to maintain, if their code/comments are anything like their text messages.
