I think part of the denial is people can't imagine something is posisble if they can't see how or do it themselves.

Also the age demographic of hn lately is younger and less experienced and perhaps the next wave are still learning about the reality of developers that are many orders of magnitude more effective and productive than their average peers.

Some people are just more prolific than others at certain skills.
