Do certain languages attract bad developers?

Why is it that every time I come in to fix a VB project, the code is awful?  This current one is probably the worst.  It is sloppy.  It is riddled with security vulnerabilities.  it is filled with files named “checkout.aspx”, “checkout2.aspx”, etc.  No source control.  No dev or staging enviornment.  They were using the production database for development. They don’t understand the concept of reuse or refactoring.  I fixed the exact same bug 20 times because they have cut and paste this code everywhere.   I’m not getting paid to clean up the code, just fix the vulnerabilities.

So my question is why does VB attract so many BAD developers. Javascript tends to do the same thing.

Why?  You can write really good javascript code.  You can write really good vb code (although it will always be ugly).  I just don’t understand why every vb project I look at appears that 10 year olds wrote it.

Now that I think about this some more, I’ve seen some really really horrible C++ code too.  I’m going to have to think about this one.  I’m just so tired of cleaning up after VB coders.
