Every dev should be writing! The medium is not as important as the action. The biggest benefit is personal and cognitive. There are a number of studies that show how writing, using a pen is best, improves retention, allows the brain to categorize and organize thoughts and patterns. So, get out the pen and paper, or stylus and tablet and start writing.

Also, the act of writing does have a positive impact on ones communication skills.

Whether it is private (journal) or public (blog), writing is an essential tool in anyone's life.
