In my experience startup-level developers would prefer to stay out of large corporate environments (perhaps with an exception of dedicated R&D units). Still, banks seem to enjoy having software. I guess this explains why my online banking experience sucks so much. Indeed.

True. I'm not saying they're not functional at some point.

Just that
a) they're likely to never be very good at it
b) they'd never have gotten in the field if not for “Oh, what pays well these days?” at school

No startups or basement AI for them.

The programming community takes a hit because it isn't a regulated profession (imagine the same type of people buying a job of a doctor or a lawyer with just a degree). Though by the looks of it, the video game dev colleges are even worse. Having a degree is an excuse to get hired by an HR (one of those people who doesn't understand what Computer Science is) into one of those large corporate cubicle positions that pays well (it has to for anyone to put up with any of _that_) and chugs out the code that gets peer-reviewed… on The Daily WTF.
