It depends a lot of what you code and your constraints. Believe it or not they are a huge crowd of people making a living out of code that is easy to write but crashes. And they are happy about it.

E.G: one of my friend has a streaming website. He make banks with ads despite the site having problems all the time. He doesn't care the least. He is not an expert coder and just want to be able to build the features he needs, even if it's not perfect. Types are way too much for him. It took 2 years to master git basics.

Another example: my current clients are geomaticians. They code in Python a lot. They produce only small codes, and don't want something complex. They are experts in maps, not code, and love Python to have the balance of cost / reward they want.

HN is a bubble of expert devs, but the world is full of PHP plumbers, data manglers, sys admin and other professional that have a legitimate needs for "smooth brain to text programming".
