We (programmers/engineers/developers whatever you want to call it) have a LOT to answer for.

Evenly represented on the HN home page every few months are:

1) You don't need a programmer, you need a technical co-founder (aka. you can't pay someone to do this job because you can't possibly afford it)

2) I am sick of people asking me to be their technical co-founder

The engineering side of tech have spend a good few years recycling each other's kool aid and we're starting to believe it. Hell we're saying the same bullshit over and over so much that even the non-tech side is starting to believe it.

The problems that 90% of companies solve are not difficult. There are literally millions of people crawling the planet that can solve these problems and yet our inability to work together has created an entire generation of primadonna's like the OP that swan around like the bell of the ball.
