i had the same idea to create a social network for developers. I'm very curious about their business model. Will they provide a database of developer profiles f

  Yes, that's a question I have as well. There doesn't seem to be any advertisements at all, so where is the money going to come from. In fact, how do you make money off of developers? Advertisements probably wouldn't work anyway because we are a technologically savvy group that knows how to work uBlock. Creating a job board like Stack Overflow is probably one answer, but that seems pretty pedestrian and not really a main source of income. A paywall might work, but there is already a lot of competition in this space (Reddit, HN, ./, etc.) and none of them require subscriptions. The paywall is in fact that's one of the reasons I don't like Quora. Another source might be partnering with other technology companies, though I don't really know how that would work.
