Some very true observations. When you look at it through the eyes of a real builder or coder, it is even more frustrating. These scum flood the MUD community until we arrive at the current point, where MUDs are split neatly into the following typology:

1. They will hire you, but your coworkers will be the abovementioned wastes of flesh and, obviously, the MUD will never get anywhere anyway

2. They are a good MUD with potential, but your chances of getting hired- despite being a master builder/coder- are nil.

How to solve the problem? Simple -- do away with the whole concept of builders and coders being gods. Let them build and code on another port, but they're just normal mortals on the play port. This is how I coded for a couple years over at Aethar when it was open, and it worked pretty well.
