Every time I feel our industry has evolved beyond the "devs vs. managers" culture, something like this comes up to make me despair again. I find it absolutely horrifying that you don't stop at the false dichotomy of diving every dev in those two groups, with no shades of grey in between, but actually go one step further and recommend firing everyone who isn't in the first group. Yes, people care. Yes, they want to fix their own code. They also want to teach their little kids to ride a bike without training wheels. Your system might have problems every week, but that moment when your kid gives you a big grin and says "look, daddy, I'm doing it alone!", that happens once in that kid's life. So unless your system is controlling air traffic or supplying oxygen to hospital patients or something like that, you might want to consider that there's more to people's life than their work.
