I take this _very_ seriously but didn't have a name for it until now.

I totally agree that many/most software organizations don't take it seriously. But I don't think that it's because of a lack of desire, I think it's a lack of even knowing it's a thing.

I put my skills in writing clean code in my most recent performance review but I didn't do a good job of describing it. It's also not something that is apparent to higher ups, but is readily apparent to colleagues who describe the code as a "joy" to work with.

I think we need to get better as an industry at measuring "Code UX" in a quantified way, and then that can start to be a meaningful area of progress that engineers can use in their career, which will motivate them to improve on that metric.

I think the term that has been coined already is DevEx. We have definitely needed to think of it as a first class concern for a very long time.
