oh hell yes. Software literacy in my book (30,000 words still no end in sight) is literally, literacy.
Look I automate almost everything i can see. And where I put effort and focus the software that is a force multiplier for my brain (or a bicycle of the mind if you like).
But so often in a large company or normal life, there is a great gulf that the virtual world cannot - yet - cross. ut more and more we shall.
One thing that's just silly is I take photos on my iphone of bills and letters. I cannot be arsed to navigate the awful dropbox API but I would like to store them under "insurance" or whatever. Fuck having some AI monster read the bill. so I played with Pythonista and can just run an action after a photo - and it gets moved. It's my solution, not an app. And that's software literacy - where you can, write, not on paper, but on the world.
