@martinfowler.com really sums it up nicely what DX is - it's about finding what gets in the way of: feedback loops, flow state, and cognitive load! Improving DevEx is about finding what gets in the way of these three elements. Improving developer experience leads to better outcomes for the business.
Today, @nicolefv.bsky.social and Abi Noda's new book "Frictionless" is officially published. I liked it enough to write a foreword for it:
