I think it has little to do with "nobody wants to share it". The issue is that there seems to be some silent sentiment in this community that sales is...I don't know....less intellectual, a little "dirty" mayhap? And perhaps if you have to resort to (gasp) selling your product then it isn't good enough to sell itself. People hold on to the "build a wonderful product and they will come" mythology.....

Well, people who discover ways to make money don't really want to share it. Its a natural reaction and instinct to not do so. I do agree that sales, marketing, and or any type of business development subject is not very welcomed in this community. Reasons are various, but your guess is spot on. Business is seen as less intellectual, when it is actually way harder than writing code. But it requires one thing that few people here want to do: Communicate with others.

And yes, you are right. A great product does not sell itself.
