I'm not saying that you need to spend less time developing and more time selling. Your goals are your concern and your priority. I completely understand wanting to work on code and not put any effort into selling and let whomever show up that will. That has been my default state for the last 15 years.

But, while you said "I'm not trying to gain users", you also said "The people I want to attract are...". Those two statements aren't compatible. Developers (like me) are a type of user.

Whatever you want to call them--developers, users, minions, whatever--when your audience has several choices available to them for how they spend their time, marketing is just the means by which we try to convince people to take our option over some other option.

Personally, I'm getting a little tired of being on my own for all of my projects, so I am making myself learn more about marketing. I had just hoped to share.
