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.

Working in tech, I’ve seen a lot of them in people’s cubicles.

I’ve seen maybe 3 passable figures by them. Mind boggling that they actually sell.
