They're busy using them. They're probably not GitHub users or HN readers. I've seen some really nice internal (business) apps made.

So we have to assume there’s good stuff being made by newbies that no one else is seeing?

I didn’t have to take it on faith that people were actually making amazing things with digital cameras. I could look at them. I could reproduce it.

I mean, yeah. I've seen a network infrastructure monitoring system for an ISP, a router config generator tool, and a go-based BGP EVPN daemon in the past week. All are in production.

Didn’t take a decade for digital cameras to prove they were useful.
