I think the whole theme of this article and thread is don't waste your time trying to sell to developers. they block your ads, don't buy your stuff, won't even sign up for your free newsletter to see if you add any value there. generally don't even believe in advertising and marketing. Most of them would rather build instead of buy, which is useful as a developer, but not great to form a business around. The exception is Free Tiers so they can convince they're bosses to use your enterprise tier.
