> that turns everyone's problems into my problem

I see software as a new form of literacy, and this argument is, for me, a clincher.

Imagine a world where, you were the reader/writer in the company. And if there was a problem with the letters sent from head office, then because you are the reader/writer guy who does all the writing the problems are all yours

Yes, that is correct, as the only reader writer they are your problems. but the wider problem is why are you the only one?
