I never said anything about building tools for programmers. I'm actually a major proponent of building apps and tools that scratch non-technical itches, or more specifically, intersecting your development skills with your hobbies or interests.

unfortunately for those of us who don't have any non-programming/tech interests that doesn't leave much left. :) (uber, taskrabbit notwithstanding..)

  It seems that the companies coming out of YC now are scratching a very diversified set of itches, for example YourMechanic.

  The subject matter of your software doesn't really matter. Building software is what is fun, using the latest tech is fun. Who the end user is, won't affect your day-to-day very much.
