I'll go further and say that a high price is a great way to screen out the worst customers.

- pelagicAustral 4y agoYou mean like a private country club? An elitist software product, yeah, I can definitely see that succeeding...
- thrown_22 4y agoIf you're not making bank as a software developer you're either not a very good one, or you care more about the craft than the money. The first group would give you terrible reviews because they are hopeless in general. The second would give you terrible reviews because you didn't include enough content on cubical type theory. Either way you're better off without them.
- ctvo 4y agoA sub-100 USD per month professional subscription is elitist? Have you worked in any other professional field? Finance, academia, medicine, law, etc. This is certainly not elitist nor overpriced for its value.
- ikiris 4y agoYep, don't want those uppity poors having any assistance to upward mobility my good chap /s
- thrown_22 4y agoYes, exactly like that.
- triceratops 4y agoIt's not really the job of a business to provide upward mobility unless they explicitly make that part of their business model. Everything else being equal you'd rather have customers who pay more money per head than less. They also expect that a lot of their customers will be subsidized by their employers.
