Good insights, and not just software developers, really. We don’t like ads, sensationalism, or anything reeking of bullshit. If we have to talk to someone to find out the price, the product may as well not exist.

What say you to this example of a Scotsman that is infected with marketing?

[–] TheFogan@programming.dev 2 points 1 week ago

Ah damn, my arguement must have completely come apart, because that's absolutely a scottsman, and he is falling for the marketing. I don't think there's any comeback for that.
