As a flip side to this, I wish programmers who want to be founders would stop trying to come up with ideas on their own, and instead start looking for non-technical co-founders who have practical experience with a specific type of customer and a specific problem to solve for those customers. There are so, so many people out there who deeply understand a valuable real-world problem, but lack the skill to bring it to life.
The worst part of going to any sort of pitch events is hearing just how bad so many of the startup ideas are.
