Technologically Empowered Capability

The post on Simulated Creativity brought some ground for how tech comes to empower users to let them do work with less effort and energy, time, organisation and on to art and creativity. Creativity adds a lot of value to the work and artifacts and creates products of higher market value for the peak of the value pyramid.

One essential part of this technology is computing and the capability to use computers, design them and design and model the software for them also uses creativity. It is also a highly valued "art". Software creation is albeit much more difficult to model than creating a model for composition of specific style and feel. We could not create automata to design perfect code for any imaginable design spec.

There are two quantities I have been vague about and I think they should get more elaboration.

A lot of value from creativity

Perhaps I should compare different creative vocations with how much value do they create per person.

Difficulty of modelling and automating how software is created

Anyone who has tried to teach excellence in programming might have come across this problem.
