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.

Yeah I think sales people are so trained into being sales people that they dont actually know how to talk like a human being anymore.

Seriously, there is something about those guys. They just cant talk normally. Not everyone. I have met some of them that just talk normally. and are aware of their products pros and cons in relation to what you need. Those are useful.

On the other hands, nerds can have their own little annoying habits too. Sometimes they have no social skills at all and act like machines.
