Loved the article because I exactly hit the stages all up till the 5th! Thank you for making me see the whole picture and journey!
I think a problem to DSPy is that they don't know the concept of THE WHOLE PRODUCT: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Whole_product
Look at https://mastra.ai/ and https://www.copilotkit.ai/ to see how more inviting their pages look. A company is not selling only the product itself but all the other things around the product = THE WHOLE PRODUCT
A similar concept in developer tools is the docs are the product
Also I'm a fullstack javascript engineer and I don't use Python. Docs usually have a switch for the language at the top. Stripe.com is famous for it's docs and Developer Experience: https://docs.stripe.com/search#examples It's great to study other great products to get inspiration and copy the best traits that are relevant to your product as well.
The "whole product" idea here makes a lot of sense to me. I think this is often a big barrier to adoption for sure!
