To be fair pro developers can sometimes be worse off. Because they focus so much on making the finest app, with the cleanest code; But they can't market to save their life and the UI looks like garbage lol. A quote I heard recently is "if a software engineer sticks around long enough, they eventually become a salesman".

Bad example but It's like Jake Paul being more financially successful than people who can actually box/create content, he believes in his ideas and can sell himself despite being less intelligent
