“worth their salt” is doing a lot of work here. No true Scotsman fallacy?

I think you might be surprised by how few programmers even know what a profiler is, let alone how to run one.

That seems like a misapplication of the fallacy. If we assume 'worth their salt' is a synonym for 'good', then saying any good developer can operate a profiler is entirely reasonable.
