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.

Developers don't like the tool that's being lied about in order for like 100 rich maniacs with precarious tech stock portfolios to have an excuse to attack our profession, our wages, our stability. Just so they can retain the rate of profit that they experienced under covid 19 restrictions, because of us.

That's because we aren't idiots. We made them rich and theyre like "y'all could use a quality of life reduction." Of course we don't like it, it has little to do with marketing.
