Nobody suggested greater leverage meant "better than others". If you write software in any given year that gets used by thousands or millions of others, you may also be enabling great things - either in capabilities or reduced friction shipped. Also, successful software gets used for a long time, with additional work adding value on top of previous value. So software work is leveragable without fundamental limits across both space and time. This space-time leverage is true of all automation design. In contrast, well done online courses can "automate" learning, but not as completely. The highest quality teaching involves meeting many students individual needs. And there is nothing automated about most teaching.
