Developers are the most important constituency in building digital products and services

DX is the context in which developer productivity can be unleashed, in which individual needs can be successfully balanced with those of the engineering team. DX is about developer feelings – it is a sociotechnical system which should consider every touchpoint a developer interacts with to plan and produce software, from learning a platform to the very first line of code all the way through its promotion into production.

Developer Experience is about creating an environment in which a developer can do their best work

The DX is about more than function; it’s not just about the quality of the tool. The more features that are added to a given tool or platform, the more challenging it becomes to deliver a high quality experience. That’s why opinionated platforms can offer a better developer experience.
