I think your issues are orthogonal. The issue is certainly not specific to computer science. Heck, there's even a small monolouge about it from William Shatner in Star Trek Generations[0]. The more responsibility you have, the more there is to do, the more you have to delegate because you can't do it yourself. That being said, I don't think it's wrong to step back and look at the bigger picture. Just because it's not for you doesn't mean there aren't people who love it, or even prefer it! After all, coding is just a tool. A very finely set tool, but just a tool and nothing more. Then again, you can have situations like Linux, where Linus still looks at every bit that comes into the kernel, so who knows.
