As an older "non-developer" it has had the opposite effect. My thirst for creation that I had back in the late 90's early 00's is back. It started slowly, but once I figured out the tooling I created almost 10 applications for myself and work in less than one month. I've done things with my Raspberry Pi I'd never thought possible (without months of tinkering), and I've created apps that bring me both personal pleasure, and workplace productivity.
