100%. The main reason we created https://priceops.org is that there's a real mind-shift that has to happen for someone to realize that there's even a "there" there. Most people who've been through it understand all too well, but even there, it's tempting to think "Oh, if only we'd just committed ignorantly to a better pricing model..." not realizing that you'll always get it wrong and the context will always be changing, so it's critical to have an implementation that can respond to new information.

So many otherwise smart people make this foolish bet. It is an exceptionally long shot.

Feeling is mutual, I'm sure <3 I think it's potentially a very big space with a lot of work to be done, so there's room for plenty of players in it.

https://priceops.org/ looks a lot like https://12factor.net/ I guess on purpose and by culture.
