only 2-5% of the population make good developers
I think you are being optimistic by at least an order of magnitude.
Here's an exercise for someone more motivated than me: Estimate what percentage of the total population is developers, then multiply that by the percentage of good programmers. The result ought to be amusingly tiny.
TBH, I didn't have to do the first part. Multiplying by 0 always yields 0.
Eh, to kill the joke, it's a meaningless question. The percentage of good programmers depends completely on where on the spectrum you draw the line. At almost any point on the spectrum, there are programmers who are worse, and programmers who are better.
There are worse and better, but we're talking about "good". I draw the line for a good programmer at good software. There's not much of that out there. Sturgeon's Law, just with a tad higher percentage. 99% of software is pure shit.
Sturgeon's Law applies recursively.
