Some people became software developers because they wanted to make easy money back when the industry was still advertising bootcamps (in order to drive down the cost of developers).
Some people simply drifted into this profession by inertia.
And everything in-between.
From my experience there are a lot of developers who don't take pride in their work, and just do it because it pays the bills. I wouldn't want to be them but I get it. The thing is that by delegating all their knowledge to the tools they use, they are making themselves easy to replace, when the time comes. And if they have to fix something on their own, they can't. Because they don't understand why and how it works, and how and why it became what it is instead of something else.
So they call me and ask me how that thing works...
I can usually tell at the end of a call which group they belong to. I've been wrong a few times too.
As long as they don't waste my time I'm fine with everyone, some people just have other priorities in life.
One thing I'd say is in my experience there are many competent and capable people in every group, but non-competent ones are extremely rare in the first group.
