"Software developers" is market like no other: 1. Individuals are highly incentivized in their careers to gain more skills, learn on their own time, explore new tools. 2. Employers are highly incentivized to keep devs happy, improve productivity, buy tools that optimize, etc.https://twitter.com/r00k/status/1364697905706258435 …

The “software developer” market has other advantages: 1. Many efficient, low-cost distribution channels. 2. Lots of existing networks (Twitter) and communities (HN, http://Dev.to , Reddit). 3. High salaries create knock-on effects that effect pricing + demand.

Contrary to popular belief, many devs (especially dev managers!) have a low pain tolerance and would much rather pay someone to make things easier, faster, less stressful, etc...https://twitter.com/joshuaanderton/status/1214345595567009793 …

Joshua Anderton @joshuaanderton@taylorotwell talks about having a low pain tolerance when building products for developers. Lots of devs told him that Forge wasn’t a good idea because they could already solve the problem themselves (just takes more time). Millions of $$ later; Convenience ended up being keyPokaż ten wątek2 odpowiedzi 0 podanych dalej 12 polubionychPokaż ten wątek -
Also, today’s devs aren’t the same people who lived through the tech bubble crash of the early 2000s. The demand for devs is going to continue to accelerate. Salaries at FAANG companies are $350k-$500k. The incentives are there for individual devs (and companies) to level up.

Anecdotally, I suspect that devs are funding a big portion of the creator economy (Patreon, private podcasts, Substacks, GitHub sponsors). They have a lot of disposable income, and philosophically like the idea of supporting indie makers. (Any thoughts on this

This does apply for a specific group of developers, namely those who are creating their own projects in their free time and have an entrepreneurial mindset But it’s absolutely not true they they have a low pain tolerance and would rather pay

“It’s absolutely not true that they have a low pain tolerance and would rather pay.” The sales numbers I’ve seen for Tailwind, Laravel Forge, Sidekiq, Alpine/Livewire, Tuple would disagree with you.

They wouldn’t, I said that this does apply to a specific group of developers. And indeed, they’re some of the best customers. But it’s important to see the other side of the coin as well. Many developers make very bad customers, so just good to keep that in mind

I’ve observed quite a few niches, and I’ve never seen anything as good as the dev market. - Market size - Ability to pay - Easy to reach - Willingness to pay The total amount of money being spent in the sector is massive. Lots of opportunity on both the Prosumer and B2B side.

I think B2B in this case is the main deciding factor in what I mentioned. i.e. who thinks in terms of ROI. Also, the best niches are as close to helping people make money directly as possible. The ROI is extremely visible

I've seen some guys on here make $10k-$20k MRR in their first month or two because they were selling stuff related to finding leads etc. That's much more visible ROI than e.g. a $100/mo chat on your web that is bringing in money, but is harder to link together
