I'm getting lots of excellent experience with technical writing. Often when I'm working on a site, there will be work that I have to pass on to another member of the team. I have to explain in writing exactly what I've done so far, how it works, what needs to be changed, how that works and what's needed. In many cases, I know what needs to be done but not how to do it, so it's important to specify very clearly the exact circumstances and all the factors affecting the issue.
In some cases I have to email clients to explain what I've done, and what they need to do to maintain the site. Many of the clients don't have the technical experience that I have, so it's important to write clear instructions, without leaving out any steps that might seem obvious to somebody who is used to the technology. I think this is very good experience for me.
