Good insights, and not just software developers, really. We don’t like ads, sensationalism, or anything reeking of bullshit. If we have to talk to someone to find out the price, the product may as well not exist.

Which is why developers don’t want to talk to a salesperson and would rather just try the tool.

Yes, that is the generalization that the article pushed. It's not true, because developers are not homogeneous. The point of my statement is "if you are a developer, ignore this because it is not true. You don't have some sort of power that makes you immune to marketing. You're just as susceptible as the rest of us, just in a different way. Ya know, like everyone else is"

Which is my point. Devs know they’re susceptible and want to avoid the propaganda.

It’s the same reason most of them block ads.
