What percentage of your motivation for writing this post was a desire to talk about making products for coders in general and what percentage was wanting people to check out your site?
I have yet to pass the willing-to-pay barrier, but my experience launching Cursive has really echoed his first two points. Developers really appreciate attention to detail in a product and my experience working with the beta testers has been that most of them are willing to spend a lot of time helping find and fix bugs and are generally a really friendly and accommodating bunch. Plus I'm scratching my own itch all day - it doesn't get better than that.

Be honest :)
The title may be a joke but the blog post is very sincere.
If I were answering, I'd say I was 100% motivated to talk about making a product for coders, and 100% motivated to get people to check out the site.
