Do you think that 99% of all employees have bad attitudes, or is it just developers?

I'm asking because I've met very few developers who "commit nothing until they 'fell like it'". Those don't sound like professionals, they sound like children, and I agree, it would be frustrating to depend on someone like that.

99% of developers cannot organize themselves and develop a monstrous amount of high quality code in a short period of time. 100% of developers can demand big paychecks, all of the perks, working from wherever they want, never working in an office and work on their own time when they feel like it.

As an employer I used to be upfront and tell developers there is a 90% chance you will be gone in the first week, but if you make it i'll pay you 15k a month no problems and give you anything you want.

I went from a 75% bad hire rate to a 0% bad hire rate after that. just 1 data point here.
