Software development is already overburdened with paycheck-chasing dilettantes who are barely capable of cranking out reams of code that sometimes works. Unless there's some reason to think people with even less interest in the field would do a better job than us "wee hours of the night" types, I don't see why anyone should want to draw them in. Instead they should find their calling, and if they're being turned away by trivia, this isn't it.
