> people who hate programming and avoid doing it as much as possible, because they only got into it for the money.

Yeah, not the case at all. I love programming, I've been doing it since I was a kid, for over 30 years. But I DO have to earn a living, and I'd rather spend free time programming things that interest me. Writing IDE extensions and tooling all the way down to the bare metal because I can't be absolutely sure at all times that node.js code doesn't contain a virus is not one of those things.
