Who said they write bad code???
All those dark matter dev are working on most mission critical softwares and not just writing JS.
Most of them see past hype for sure.
Indeed. As an example, modern era devs don't realize how much of the global financial system is underpinned by decades old Cobol code. Personally I'd rather be working on a system that's massively important with less flashy tech, than building more inconsequential apps with the latest frameworks.

I am the same type of person. Solving a problem and creating a great product can be very rewarding and is my primary motivation.
There have been times in my career where I have been thinking more about how I could sneak in a new technology in a project. In those cases it was a sign that the things I worked on were not motivating enough, or a bad work environment. I'm more aware of how these things affect me now that I have the benefit of hindsight.
