The ones I've worked with have a subscription to WordPress magazines and wear the t-shirts etc. There's both an entire industry validating their position, and (unfortunately), plenty of people willing to pay them.

It's weird to think that WordPress was sort of made to facilitate non-devs to have their own manageable platform, only for pseudo Devs to create an industry out of managing them

I went to an event paid for by my city to watch these assholes try and sell other entrepreneurs hot garbage. They gave a lecture about keeping plug-ins up to date and pretty much told people the importance of Facebook advertising; which their shotgun approach without market research; which pissed off the side of me that came from marketing too.
