What do developers care about?
I'll start by saying - ask them! The best way to approach product marketing is to become intimately familiar with your personas.
Having said that - remember also that developers are human beings.
As such, when at work - they value (each prioritizing individually of course) the same things that everyone else does:
- success at your job/the task at hand - finding the right code for the right goal
- productivity and the ability to solve immediate issues as fast as possible - debugging easily; identifying points for improvement in your code
- quality of output - clean and efficient code
- collaboration - working smoothly with the rest of the team and other stakeholders
- learning and developing
- mentoring each other
When talking about product value prop, developers care more about:
- functional benefits (aka "features")
- security and owning the data
- transparent messaging around expected outcomes (no fuzzy marketing promises)
