> If that doesn't describe the people you work with that's fine

That is not the problem. I cannot put it any blunter than this:

I have worked with good developers who, had they seen this when they were newbies, would probably not have become developers. I have worked with good developers with years of experience who, had they seen this, would have panicked and thought they were not good developers. This hurts people.

If you don't care about that, then I cannot explain it any further in such a way as to make you care. But it is not simply "oh, some people aren't interested and that's fine because others are".
