As other people in this thread mentioned, I would recommend testing different messaging to see what resonates with your target group (devs and devops at startups). I would also recommend testing different online and offline channels to find this specific group.
Here's a post I wrote that lists the developer marketing channels to try: http://murtza.org/driving-the-api-adoption-funnel/

If you are doing this verification on the client-side, you can restrict form submissions when a user enters a free email address like Gmail or Yahoo.
Here's a post I wrote with an implementation of this approach (specific to Marketo forms, but can be made generic for any form): http://developers.marketo.com/blog/restrict-free-email-domai...
I would also recommend labeling the email address field on the form, "Work Email."

You are right. It is not a good user experience. I just took off the newsletter sign up.

Thanks for the feedback! I'll start adding phrase origins to the site.

I am working on a project to define phrases in English like "close, but no cigar".
Here's the page for this phrase: http://jargonism.com/words/437
I would be interested to hear feedback from HN on what would be useful on the word page, in addition to a definition and an example?
