Probably only if you are marketing to developers though.
Ps/ Don't sell to developers. We are a terrible market.
- lelanthran 7mo agoThats accurate. We are a terrible market. Unfortunately I have a launch planned soon for a dev B2B product. I'm hoping that the combination of non AI coded work over many months combined with separating the docs intended for LLMs and thebdics intended for humans will break through the noise ceiling. But, you know, maybe I should have just vibed it in a week and crossed my fingers.
- hermitcrab 7mo agoGood luck!
- upmostly 7mo agoAre we, though? My experience has been almost all positive. Devs love to give feedback. Devs have decent paying jobs, and therefore money to purchase devtools (ours is $79) Devs love trying out new things and being early adopters. Why is it a terrible market?
- pydry 7mo agoCoz theyre very reluctant to pay for tools and cant be bothered to lobby their boss for tool purchases for more than a couple of things. If there's an open source version thats half as good or they can hack together their own version with bits of string they will usually do that instead.
- hermitcrab 7mo agoThe positives: -Less technically clueless than typical B2C or B2B customers. -More likely to give feedback, helpful bug reports etc. The negatives: -Used to free stuff. -Loads of competition (because every developers first thought is to sell to other developers) -Relatively small market. -The things @pydry said.
