If I had more traction, I'd get the ads and marketing teams involved too so the models in the ads matched the personas we were designing around. hashtag not all devs hashtag n=1

Yes, Linux power-users are for sure a skewed and biased subset of devs BUT they do exist. [1] https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=34390655 https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=34390655
