What you seem to be implying is that there isn’t a profitable market for dev tools for the “rest” of developers (whatever the % might be). 2 observations: * it’s possible the market isn’t lucrative enough for a VC funded SV company; perhaps other models in other locations might make it more cost effective to serve that market * putting the profit motive aside: I think there is a lot to learn from understanding how the 99% of developers work and how they may be enabled by tooling to make them more productive. The solutions to the problems faced by that group may actually help build better technologies.
