Maybe just step back and take a break, don't be so hard lined in your judgements. I have no worry about future developers. There have been more contributions to linux in recent years than the early years. Programming has also gotten way more accessible to people. When I was a kid you might know 1 other kid who fooled around with basic on atari, now practically all my friends kids have had some exposure to programming. There are all kinds of hardware projects too and a whole community of makers that is blowing up New deep dive tinkerers will always be around as you can't kill curiosity. Hope you find some peace and people you enjoy working with - even if they have different opinions on how to do their job.
