PRICE. COST. PAY.
3 roughly synonymous terms used when one would do just fine. Why?
For example : Refactoring has a price. Not refactoring has a price. Either way there's a price.
This "clever writing" is a pet peeve of mine.

- marcosdumay 3y agoPrice in what you pay to get it. Cost in what you keep paying to keep it. Price is pretty unambiguous, cost is very ambiguous. I've never seen anybody make this distinction, but IMO, it's clear enough.
- diatone 3y agoIt’s intentional, to distinguish between known unknowns and unknown unknowns.
